Poll: 57% of Pennsylvania voters oppose Trump re-election

JEFF HAWKES | Staff Writer Feb 3, 2020

Nearly three out of five Pennsylvania voters don’t believe President Donald Trump deserves re-election, a finding in a new Franklin & Marshall College poll that suggests he has work to do to win the state a second time.

But the poll offered some good news for the embattled president as those favoring re-election grew to 41%, up from 37% in October.

“At the moment (Trump) would have a tough time winning the state, but I’m not prepared to rule it out,” said G. Terry Madonna, a pollster and analyst at F&M’s Center for Politics and Public Affairs.

“He’s improved slightly over where he was in October. That’s true nationally as he rallies Republicans around him in a very strong and decisive way” during the impeachment fight, Madonna said.

The survey found that 57% believe he doesn’t deserve reelection, down from 59% in October and 61% in July.

I say they are rigged, I am telling you we can't trust the approval polls. They have their corrupt hands all over everything. The fact people haven't figured that out, will hurt us. The bullshit about impeachment helping him, is just that bullshit.
