With less than 47 days until the November election, Vice President Harris and former President Trump are tied in Pennsylvania, meaning the state could decide the winner on Election Day.
According to a new Marist College poll, Trump and Harris each received the support of 49% of New Jersey voters.
Additionally, 90% of voters who said they supported a particular candidate also said they strongly supported that candidate.

“Pennsylvania receives the most attention from presidential candidates among the Rust Belt states, and for good reason,” said Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, president of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion Research. “It's the biggest prize in the region, and the most competitive. Winning Pennsylvania doesn't guarantee the White House, but it goes a long way.”
Harris led Trump in polls in the so-called “blue wall” states of Michigan and Wisconsin.
In Michigan, the vice president's approval rating was 52% to Trump's 47%, five points higher, but in Wisconsin it was much closer, with Trump winning by just one point, 50% to 49%.
“Of the three so-called blue wall states, Michigan is one where there is a difference of opinion between Harris and Trump,” Miringoff said.

“Michigan's vote is driven by highly unfavorable ratings of Trump and Vance will not help the Republican candidate at all,” Miringoff added, noting that 53% of Michigan voters have an unfavorable view of Trump.
Inflation was overwhelmingly the top issue for a third of Pennsylvanians, who said so. Despite being a campaign priority for Democrats nationally, abortion was the fourth most likely to be a top issue for voters, at just 11%, followed by immigration at 15% and preserving democracy at 27%.
The breakdown of the most important issues among Wisconsin voters was similar to that of Pennsylvania, but in Michigan, the issue of preserving democracy turned out to be most important to the majority of voters.

In all three states, there is a gender gap of at least 20 points between Harris and Trump, with men more likely to support the former president and women more likely to choose Harris.

Despite the gulf between them, Trump's troubles with women appear to be greater than Harris' troubles with men. Trump's gap with women is particularly wide in Michigan, where Harris has the biggest lead, with a 15-point gap between Harris and Trump among female voters.
