Big Board analysis: Voters looking for ‘substantial change’ about even in PA
Pennsylvania voters hold strong views on who they support in the upcoming election, but they are also looking for substantial change.
A new Big Board analysis of Pennsylvania voters shows that the race for governor is a dead heat, with Democrat Josh Shapiro leading Republican Doug Mastriano by just 1 point, within the margin of error. The analysis also shows that voters are looking for substantial change in the state, with 64% saying that they want to see a change in the way things are going in Pennsylvania.
This desire for change is being driven by a number of factors, including the state’s ongoing economic problems, the opioid crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Voters are looking for leaders who can address these issues and bring about positive change in the state.
While voters are looking for change, they are also divided on who they support in the upcoming election.
Shapiro is seen as a moderate Democrat who can appeal to both Democrats and Republicans. He has a strong record of public service, having served as the state’s attorney general since 2017. Mastriano, on the other hand, is a far-right Republican who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump. He is a staunch supporter of Trump’s policies, including the former president’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
The race for governor is likely to be close, and the outcome could have a significant impact on the state’s future. Voters are looking for change, but they are also divided on who they support. The outcome of the election will depend on who can best appeal to voters’ desire for change.
