Former President Donald Trump (R) leads Vice President Kamala Harris (D) by two points among Pennsylvania voters in the 2024 race for the White House.
That’s according to a poll of Arizona voters released today by American Greatness.
Trump leads Harris 47-45%, with 9% undecided.
The survey was conducted both before and after the President Joe Biden's (D) announcement that he was withdrawing from the campaign. One-quarter of the weighted respondent interviews occurred before Biden's announcement.
On the economy, only 15% of Pennsylvania voters said that "Bidenomics" works "very well", and 38% said it works "not at all." Only 6% of the state's voters between the ages of 18-34 said "Bidenomics" works "very well."
While 68% of voters said the attempted assassination of Trump did not effect their vote, 21% of voters said it made them more likely to vote for the president. Only 10% said it made them less likely to vote for Trump.
The survey was conducted for American Greatness by North Star Public Opinion research July 20-23, 2024 among 600 likely Pennsylvania voters.

Trump and his running mate, U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), were officially nominated at the 2024 Republican National Convention, held July 15-18 at the Fiserve Forum in Milwaukee. The convention began only two days after the attempted assassination of Trump at a rally in Butler, PA.
Biden announced his resignation from the campaign in a post on X on July 21. He endorsed Harris in a subsequent X post the same day, and discussed his decision during a televised Oval Office address on July 24.
Harris was selected by Biden as his running mate in 2019 after serving a partial term as U.S. Senator from California. She had run against Biden for the 2020 Democrat Presidential nomination, but she dropped out prior to the primaries after receiving zero party delegates. Harris previously also served as the attorney general of California.
The Democratic National Committee has yet to officially nominate Harris, and she has not yet selected a running mate. As of publication time, former U.S. President Barack Obama has not endorsed Harris.
