Both candidates have consolidated their base, with Trump winning 86% of GOP and Biden winning 89% of Democrats.
But among non-affiliated voters in Pennsylvania, Biden holds a commanding 13-point lead.
Our poll finds a historically massive voting mode gap exists in Pennsylvania:
Early/By mail (44%): Biden 74-22%
Election Day (56%): Trump 64-33%
We measure the impact Trump’s COVID diagnosis has on voter preference.
Most voters don’t think it will affect their decision. But among voters who do say it matters, more say it makes them less likely to support Trump.
Key Takeaways in Pennsylvania —
> Biden above 50 percent
> Biden winning non-affiliated voters
> Biden winning college educ. whites
> Very few undecided voters
> Trump’s COVID not a game changer
State of the Race in Pennsylvania:
Biden doing what he needs (vs. 2016) among college educated whites and non-affiliated voters to win.
But it's not a blowout like some other Pennsylvania polling has shown.
The swing in Pennsylvania may be smaller than in other Midwest states.

Oh my god — CNN just aired a recording of Melania Trump caught on tape saying “Give me a fucking break” in response to questions about children separated from their parents at the border.
Full Melania Trump video: “They said, ‘Oh what about the children that were separated?’ Give me a fucking break.”
This is, of course, untrue. But more perplexing, Trump repeatedly attacked Biden for wanting to shut down the economy. Pence is now saying Trump did exactly as Biden urged?
Put plainly: the Trump campaign continues to lack a coherent campaign message and, at the moment, seems to be taking credit for something they’ve repeatedly attacked Biden for urging.
On Monday night, Trump gave his national platform to a white man who used an AR-15 to terrorize BLM protesters.
On Tuesday night, a white man used an AR-15 to murder two BLM protesters.
But please, carry on praising RNC optics.
Seriously, how is the RNC moving ahead with their programming on the same day a right wing terrorist gunned down innocent protesters on the streets of America?
The words and actions of a President have consequences. Vilifying peaceful protesters while embracing radical armed racists leads to this — a white vigilante committing an act of terrorism.
New piece: Donald Trump’s infamous ’53 percent’ support among white women voters has evaporated. These same voters who helped elect Donald Trump in 2016 are set to retire him in 2020. matthewfmcdermott.com/blog/2020/6/15…
Arguably, the most striking change since 2016 is just how far Donald Trump’s support has fallen among white women.
In 2016, Trump secured a plurality among white women against Hillary Clinton.
Now, Joe Biden leads among white women voters by 13 points.
In 2016, Donald Trump actually did better among white women than voters overall.
But his approval among white women voters now stands at only 35%, weaker than his 42% approval among total voters.
