INQUIRER/NYT/SIENA POLL: PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS FAVOR DEMOCRATS FOR CONTROL OF CONGRESS

Pennsylvanians prefer a Democratic controlled Congress by 9-point margin

A new Inquirer/New York Times/Siena University poll published Tuesday shows Pennsylvania voters favor a Democratic controlled Congress and are more likely to vote for a Democrat in November’s election.

It’s the latest poll that shows Pennsylvania voters are souring on House Republicans, flashing major warning signs for vulnerable incumbents Brian Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mackenzie, Rob Bresnahan, and Scott Perry.

Another ominous sign for Fitzpatrick, Mackenzie, Bresnahan, and Perry: Governor Josh Shapiro holds a staggering 16-point lead over his Republican opponent.

Last week, Pennsylvania Red to Blue candidates Bob Harvie, Bob Brooks, Paige Cognetti, and Janelle Stelson announced they are teaming up to launch the Flippable Four Victory Fund – a joint fundraising campaign that will help drive donations into flipping four of the most competitive House seats in the entire country.

Pennsylvania currently has more Red to Blue candidates than any other state in the country. Public polling in each district (PA-01PA-07PA-08PA-10) shows that all four races are highly competitive and offer a clear path for Democrats to take back the majority in November.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“The math is simple: Democrats can win back the House by flipping four seats in Pennsylvania. Poll after poll shows that Pennsylvanians are fed up with House Republicans like Brian Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mackenzie, Rob Bresnahan, and Scott Perry who have voted for higher prices, devastating health care cuts, a reckless war in Iran, and corruption that is costing working people. Bob Harvie, Bob Brooks, Paige Cognetti, and Janelle Stelson are uniquely strong candidates who are in position to win in November.”
