In a recent poll conducted in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden, indicating a challenging race for the incumbent president. The district has more registered Republicans than Democrats and traditionally favors Republican candidates. The poll also reveals that residents of the 10th district are more critical of President Biden than the state’s voters as a whole, with concerns about the economy, personal finances, and dissatisfaction with Biden’s job performance.
Despite the recent hush money charges brought against Trump, he continues to maintain a lead over Biden in the district. Even after the conviction, support for Trump remained strong, and there was a notable increase in support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. These findings are particularly concerning for Biden, as Pennsylvania was a state he won in the 2020 election.

The poll also highlighted that a plurality of respondents believe Pennsylvania is heading in the wrong direction, with economic concerns being the most pressing issue, including unemployment and higher gas and utility prices. Dissatisfaction with Biden’s performance is evident, with a majority of respondents expressing a “strongly unfavorable” view of the president.
In addition to the presidential race, the poll indicates a close race between Republican Rep. Scott Perry and Democrat Janelle Stelson, with Perry holding a slight lead overall. Respondents also believe that the country would be better off if Republicans controlled the House, aligning with the district’s preference for Republican candidates.
With Trump leading Biden in Pennsylvania and across several other battleground states, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the race for the presidency is highly competitive. This poll serves as a reminder of the challenges President Biden faces as he seeks reelection.
