A new poll by Muhlenberg College/Morning Call released today (Wednesday) shows Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris tied for the race to win the state of Pennsylvania, a must-win swing state for both candidates with 19 electoral votes.
Both Trump and Harris get 48% of the vote from likely voters in the poll, a result in line with multiple polls over the past few weeks which showed both candidates in a dead heat or very close statistical tie.
In a possible warning sign for trust in the results of the election, especially following the controversy created by Trump over the fairness and accuracy of the 2020 election when he lost to Joe Biden, just 8% of self-identified Republicans are "very confident" in the counting of mail ballots, a widely used method in Pennsylvania along with in person voting.
Trump has said that if he loses the 2024 election, he would not try again for the presidency in 2028, but this assumes he admits that he lost, which he has never done for the 2020 election.
