Pennsylvania survey finds Harris leading Trump narrowly, identifies her ‘biggest weakness,’ pollster says

Pennsylvania remains one of the tightest contests in the nation as November’s presidential election approaches. 

Vice President Kamala Harris remains ahead of former President Donald Trump by a razor-thin margin, according to new data from AARP. 

Harris maintains 49% of likely voters, while Trump maintains approximately 47%, according to the survey. Three percent reported being undecided.

The AARP poll was conducted by landline, cell phone and text-to-web by a bipartisan team from Sept. 17 to Sept. 24. 

Harris’ weakest point is with senior citizens, AARP’s response data shows.

Seniors aged 65 years and older broke for Trump by seven points, according to the data.

It is a major shift after Trump was trailing previous Democratic candidate President Biden by one point before he dropped out and Harris became the party’s nominee.

The AARP survey found that 50% of likely voters approve of Trump’s performance as president from 2016 to 2020. About 49% disapprove of his job performance in the Oval Office.

Approximately 45% approve of Harris’ performance as vice president, while 52% disapprove.
