In the swing state of Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump is gaining momentum and increasing his lead over President Joe Biden. Even with Biden winning the state in 2020, Trump is now ahead in crucial Pennsylvania. A recent poll by AARP Pennsylvania showed that Trump is leading among both all voters and those over 50 years old. This bodes well for the former president’s chances in the state.
The poll also revealed that Biden’s image and job approval ratings are notably low, especially among voters over 50. Additionally, a large percentage of voters believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, emphasizing widespread dissatisfaction with the current administration’s leadership. Concerns over issues such as immigration, inflation, and the economy are taking center stage for Pennsylvania voters, particularly those over 50 years old.

With voters over 50 playing a significant role in the upcoming election, their focus on personal financial issues and policies for seniors’ care is crucial. This demographic composed a substantial portion of the electorate in past elections and is highly motivated to vote in the upcoming one. The poll also shed light on the Senate race in Pennsylvania, where Republican Dave McCormick is in close competition with the incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey, Jr., especially among voters over 50.
This AARP Pennsylvania poll carries weight, as it included a large and diverse sample of likely voters, with a thorough methodology to ensure accuracy. With Trump’s lead increasing, this poll’s findings favor the conservative politician and raise doubts about Biden’s prospects in Pennsylvania.
