The double-digit edge is a sizeable improvement over last month’s version of the Monmouth survey.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is ahead by 12 percentage points among registered voters in Pennsylvania, according to a new survey of the swing state where he was born.
A Monmouth University poll published Tuesday reports that a majority of Pennsylvania voters, 54 percent, back Biden, while 42 percent prefer President Donald Trump.
The double-digit edge for Biden comes after last month’s version of the Monmouth survey showed him with an advantage of just 4 percentage points over Trump among Pennsylvania voters, 49-45 percent.
The latest Biden lead also represents an improvement on his performance in other recent public polling. According to a RealClearPolitics average of Pennsylvania surveys conducted from Sept. 20-Oct. 5, Biden is 6.6 percentage points ahead of Trump.
Trump won Pennsylvania by 1.2 percentage points in 2016, an upset victory over former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. His ability to flip that state, as well as the two Midwestern battlegrounds of Michigan and Wisconsin, is widely credited with securing his Electoral College success.
