According to a recent University of Massachusetts Lowell/YouGov poll, Democratic Senator Bob Casey has a 9-point lead over his Republican opponent, David McCormick, in Pennsylvania’s Senate race. With 48% support among likely voters, Casey is currently ahead of McCormick’s 39%, with 10% of voters still undecided.
The poll also highlights a divide among age groups, with McCormick performing better among voters aged 45-64, while Casey finds stronger support among younger and older voters. Despite this lead, the race remains competitive as both candidates continue to battle for swing voters.
In their most recent debate, Casey and McCormick clashed on several key issues, including abortion rights, energy policy, and gun control. McCormick criticized Casey as an out-of-touch career politician, while Casey painted McCormick as a wealthy ex-hedge fund CEO with little understanding of the challenges Pennsylvanians face.
Both candidates agree on continued U.S. support for Israel amidst the conflict in the Middle East, but beyond that, their differences were on full display. With mail-in voting already ramping up and tens of millions of dollars pouring into the race each week, the fight for Pennsylvania’s Senate seat is sure to intensify as Election Day approaches.
