New polling shows Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano pulling close to Democratic rival Josh Shapiro as the contentious governor’s race nears its home stretch.

Polling from the Trafalgar Group shows Mastriano within two points of Shapiro, at 45.7% to 47.7%, respectively.

That indicates the race may be significantly closer than data from earlier weeks demonstrated.

I see JoJo the Pedophile’s little goons have begun beating up and trashing the cars of Abbott’s campaign volunteers. I think it’s getting close to that time. Time to put the far left Commies and Nazis back to sleep.

I don’t know how Mastriano is doing it, but maybe that’s the secret of his success. He is ignoring traditional media outlets, letting a lot of Shapiro ads calling him an extremist and a “bad scary abortion banning man” go unanswered, and I don’t thing the state or national GOP are being very helpful with his campaign.

Rest assured, if Mastriano can win a governor’s race in November in a purple state without state or national party support, without huge ad buys on major media channels, without a legion of overpaid consultants, and with an opponent determined to avoid any debates... it’s monumental. The donor class, the consultant class, the establishment, all of them are going to be shaken at least as much as when Trump won. That’s what worries me, and also what inspires me. He must win.

Trump ran plenty of ads hamering Hillary in PA though, and also in 2020. He won both times.

I can’t believe a large number of blacks will vote for a guy named Shapiro - I’ll leave it to you readers to figure out why.

Strange that the polls are pretty consistent in the Senate race, but the Governor polls are all over the map.

Without seeing the questions asked, it is hard to judge why the reactions counted. He does have some controversial positions.

“Mr. Mastriano, a retired Army colonel who chartered buses to the Jan. 6, 2021, rally that led to the attack on the Capitol, has vowed to ban abortion without exceptions and pledged to enact sweeping new voting restrictions. He would be likely to accomplish those measures given the Republican advantage in the state legislature.” From another article on the PA elections posted today at FR,

Also Oz is catching up to Fetterman rapidly - if he hasn’t already.

Give it a couple more months of inflation, crime, an open border, etc. Its not going to do Democrats any good nationwide.

He would be the 3rd straight Pennsylvania Marxist, self loathing Jew democrat to take office, after Ed Rendell and Tom Wolf. He would also be the worst of them all. He is a high ranking George Soros troglodyte.

I have noticed since the Clinton era that pollsters NEVER mention a polls MARGIN OF ERROR any more. If a poll states 51 to 48 with a margin of error of 3, then the actual poll could be 54-45 or 48-51 in the opposite direction.

They are using the margin of error to inflate their candidate or customers candidate in a more positive direction. This is intentionally misleading to try to sway election outcomes.

The sad part is most polling is done by the left and the pollsters go where the $$ is. Because of this I apply a 17 point margin of error to the MAGA candidates polling numbers to keep my perspective positive.

Just sayin, WWG1WGA!
