Closer Than Polls Might Indicate

In Emily Goodin’s article, For Pa. Voters, It’s Still the Economy, she highlights two key points. That the issue of economy has driven an incentive and therefore an increase in unlikely voters; this increase in unlikely voters aren’t represented in polls, which show Clinton up by an average of 7 percentage points. As the general election has tipped in Clinton’s favor, Democratic representatives such as Senator Bob Casey still are unsure that the polls accurately represent the close race Pennsylvania might become. Democratic representative Mike Dole also expressed concerns that voter interests weren’t appropriately being discussed, as both campaigns have recently shifted toward tarnishing each other instead.

As Trump is highly considered to be losing in most states, Pennsylvania might remain a tight decision based on voter intensity of low-income and mid-income families that have been hit hard by the economy.
