A new American Thinker/Rasmussen Reports poll of 1,202 likely voters in Pennsylvania shows Donald Trump and Kamala Harris tied at 48% each if the election were held today. Drilling down, though, the poll, which got responses from 517 Democrats, 514 Republicans, and 171 “other” voters, reveals that likely Pennsylvania voters are less evenly split regarding the issues.
When asked to select the most important issue to them when thinking about the presidential and congressional elections, 37% ranked the economy as their top issue, with abortion (17%) and border security following behind (15%).
However, even though only 15% of likely voters listed border security as their primary concern, 29% ranked solving illegal immigration as the most important issue for the next president. (Addressing rising prices and protecting America’s democracy were the second and third priorities for the incoming administration.)
Fifty percent of Pennsylvania’s likely voters favor a candidate who wants deportation, while 33% back an amnesty candidate. Also, 62% of poll respondents believe that the government is doing too little to stop the current influx of illegal border crossers. Fifty-three percent think that Trump can be trusted more to secure the border, while 41% trust Harris to do the job.
Respondents had conflicting results about American liberty moving forward. Fifty-three percent of likely voters tagged Harris and the Democrats as the greater threat to democracy, with only 44% saying the same of Trump and the Republicans. However, 48% of voters said that Republicans were a greater threat of a “dictatorship or tyranny” than Democrats (46%).
When asked about the biggest enemy facing America, whether foreign or domestic, the poll reveals that Pennsylvania’s likely voters aren’t overly concerned about Iran (7%) or Russia (11%). China, at 20%, is a greater worry.

Look at the economies under Trump and Biden, yet Trump only leads 51-46% in trust of running a good economy. WOW!
Ping...
A lot can happen between now and the election, too. An uptick in murder, rape or other crimes by illegals... a few local pets end up on the Guadalupe grill... depending on how well the press can play hide-the-truth.. might be enough to pull a few more votes out of the crazy column into the common sense zone.
RE: yet Trump only leads 51-46% in trust of running a good economy.
Too many voters want to suck at the government’s teat and receive benefits more than they want to contribute.
If enough such people live in this country we will end up with what Margaret Thatcher warned:
... You eventually run out of other people’s money.
Over 8 years of constant negative press coverage will do that
What that means is that the outcome is determined by the 10% of the electorate which is least informed and least intelligent. Ain't democracy wonderful?
PA breaks my heart too often.
They NEED to come through.
Trump wins GA, NC and PA and it’s game over.
I don’t trust the upper midwest.
If that 48-48 figure is accurate that’s not good news at all for DJT. Why? The Rat Party Fraud Machine.
The poll has too many Republicans compared to the demographics of Pennsylvania, which is typical of Rasmussen.
Especially one that “over-weights” Republicans.
You would be surprised at how many buy the price gauging story.
Allegheny County (Pittsburgh and the surrounding towns) are the key to winning PA. He doesn’t have to win the county.
Trump has work to make sure Harris doesn’t get or steal as many votes as Biden.
Hey meatloaf...great name...even if you didn’t get it from the singer’s name...I always liked him :)
PA worries me...they have broken my heart too often!
But I really think we MUST win it...I think there is a better chance of overcoming cheating in PA than in the midwestern states.
We have to hope that steps have been taken to stop the Philadelphia magical new votes production from happening.
Didn’t know that about Pittsburgh...dont know the whole geography well there.
Thanks for the heads up.
Most liberal women would rather starve to death than lose the ability to kill their babies.
Unfortunately you can add 150,000 votes to the Dem side for ballot-stuffing in Philly.
Certainly doesn’t make any sense, does it!
