Summary
A New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena poll puts Gov. Josh Shapiro ahead of Republican Stacy Garrity by 16 percentage points among likely Pennsylvania voters.
60% of voters approve of Shapiro’s job performance, and a majority say his stance toward President Trump is “about right,” helping explain why he leads across nearly every demographic group.
11% of Trump’s 2024 supporters back Shapiro, and he is outperforming his party: Democrats hold only a 6-point lead on the congressional ballot in the same survey.
Trump’s approval rating is 19 points underwater in the battleground state, underscoring a political climate that currently favors the moderate Democrat as he seeks re-election.
