Pennsylvania polls

In Pennsylvania, the latest NYT poll released Monday morning shows Donald Trump at 49 percent of the state polling average and Kamala Harris at 48 percent.

“Things remain extremely tight in the contested states. Because the race is so close, it doesn’t take a huge poll error to get a different result,” said NY Times senior political analyst Nate Cohn.

Less than two weeks ago, polls in Pennsylvania showed Trump and Harris “essentially tied,” each earning 48 percent statewide.

“While the overall result of our latest Times/Siena polls remained largely unchanged compared to our previous wave of battleground polls, there were some notable shifts. Surprisingly, the long-standing divide between the Rust Belt and Sun Belt battlefields has narrowed significantly. The overall effect of this “The swings are somewhat contradictory – it doesn't necessarily improve Ms. Harris' position in the Electoral College,” Cohn said.
