Vice President Kamala Harris continues to lead former president Donald Trump in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to a new post-debate poll, while the race remains a dead heat nationally.
Half of Pennsylvanians said they would vote for Harris if the election were held today compared to 46 percent who said they’d back Trump, according to a set of polls conducted by the New York Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Siena College in the week after the September 10 ABC News debate. Harris’s 4-point lead is slightly outside the Pennsylvania survey’s margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.

I looked at the methodology used, which clearly shows the deciding factor of the entire election. Gender, and the ratio of men to women that vote. A large majority of women hate Trump and would vote for any other candidate. A large majority of men hate Harris and don't see her as informed or capable of leading the country in a complex world. The reason the polls are still slightly favoring Harris is apparent from this report by the League of Women Voters:
"Overall, women voted at higher rates than men. Turnout was particularly high in Arizona, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin; in these states, women within the voter population voted at rates of roughly 58-71%."
If you sample equal numbers of women and men, Harris does better. Men tend to dismiss the election process as not worth their time and hang up on pollsters. If this happens in the 2024 election, Harris will win.

I'm calling BS! B, as in bal·der·dash, noun, senseless talk or writing; nonsense.
"her speech dismissed as “bunkum and balderdash.”"

Pennsylvania has always been the easily-persuaded stupid spoiler for the GOP … why should it be any different now?
Stupid iS as stupid does as the XX-clown-voters follow “the Commie FRACKER.”

Nothing to see here. Notice that the Slimes, Philly Inquirer, and the Siena Indoctrination Center did the "poll".

Pennsylvanians are not stupid as illustrated by every county being painted red except for Bucks (Philadelphia) and Allegheny (Pittsburgh) both of which have well-oiled democrat-driven cheating machines which have been in place for at least fifty years. The city governments on up to the state representatives are dirty.

Her strategy is what it's always been: coast in on her back, saying as little as possible.

The worry is the women who vote for Kamala because she is pro-abortion and because it's time for a woman to win. They're the crazies I worry about. Head in the sand useful idiots. Being a woman, I can say that.

#4 in his last paragraph nails it. If men don't turn out to vote like they turned out to enlist after Pearl Harbor, we are finished as a nation. I suspect many women hate Trump because he is an alpha male. When my oldest son was in high school he overheard one of the more aggressive females in his class giving advice to a group for her friends. Her suggestion concerning boys/men was "get a dumb one, they're easier to control...". I suspect they simply hate Trump on an emotionally level. Good policies be damned. And in the end, they may get what they want - a "dumb one". Unfortunately, it will be one from within their own
gender and the policies will suck. " Oh, well " they will cry "at least it's not Trump".

No, David, she doesn’t. In fact, Republicans have made huge gains in voter registrations in PA over the past 6-8 months.
