Summary

The latest FOX News poll shows that Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly edges out former President Donald Trump. However, with a little over a month until Election Day, the candidates continue to concentrate much of their efforts on battleground states. Director of the FOX News Decision Desk, Arnon Mishkin, evaluates the recent poll, why former President Trump's numbers aren't changing much, and why the Electoral College matters more than the popular vote. With a total of 19 electoral votes, many consider Pennsylvania a 'must-win' state on election night. With just weeks until the 2024 Presidential Election, Vice President Harris and former President Trump are still fighting to break the tie in the Keystone State. Director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion Christopher Borick discusses what's at the top of voters' minds this election cycle and explains what makes Pennsylvania such a competitive state.
