Former President Donald Trump is up 3-points in Pennsylvania over Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the latest poll from Rasmussen Reports.
On Monday, the polling publication, along with American Thinker, reported that if the election were held "today," i.e., from Oct. 9 to Oct. 13, "50% of Likely Pennsylvania voters would vote for Trump, while 47% would vote for Harris."
The poll shows that Trump is gaining support in the Keystone State. In September, both Trump and Harris were tied at 48%.
"The momentum favors Trump and, as [author] Scott Adams says, in a dynamic situation, the momentum can be even more important than the actual numbers," American Thinker managing editor Andrea Widburg said. "Despite the media's best efforts to sugarcoat the Harris-Biden administration and Harris herself, American voters don't like what's happening in America. It's no wonder that growing numbers of Americans believe that Trump can be trusted to make things better."
Widburg added that Americans feeling they're worse off today than they were four years ago could be the driving factor behind Trump's momentum.
"Pennsylvania voters continue to be deeply unhappy with the state of things in America, which is always bad for the incumbent. By a huge margin (75% to 20%), they think that the way the federal government does business needs a major change. Fifty-eight percent say they're not better off than they were four years ago, 55% view their children's future with gloom, and 53% say that they don't trust the federal government."
