Two new polls this morning once again show that Democrats are on offense in Pennsylvania and have a clear pathway to flip four toss up House races across the Commonwealth in November.
- The Inquirer/New York Times/Siena polling shows Pennsylvania voters “are giving President Donald Trump worse grades on key economic issues than they did a month ago.” His job approval is now nearly 30-points underwater (34% approve / 63% disapprove). The poll also shows a massive enthusiasm gap: “about two-thirds of likely Democratic voters are ‘very enthusiastic’ to cast their ballots, while just half of Republican voters say they feel the same way.”
- Franklin & Marshall polling shows Democrats have the edge in both toss up races in PA-07 and PA-10. Firefighter Bob Brooks leads weak incumbent Ryan Mackenzie 45% – 40%, while Janelle Stelson has a narrow edge over seven-term incumbent Scott Perry 47% – 44%.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“The math is simple: Democrats can win back the House by flipping four seats in Pennsylvania. Bob Harvie, Bob Brooks, Paige Cognetti, and Janelle Stelson are uniquely strong candidates who are in position to win as long as they continue to have the resources they need to communicate across their communities. As Republicans and their special interest donors flood these districts with millions of dollars’ worth of attack ads, we will continue to remind voters that Brian Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mackenzie, Rob Bresnahan, and Scott Perry have sent costs soaring and become part of the corruption in Washington that is costing Pennsylvania families.” |
