President Donald Trump trails five candidates running for the Democratic Party’s nomination in the latest poll of Pennsylvania from Emerson College.
When placed head-to-head in a matchup between Trump and the potential Democratic nominees, former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders led the contenders, both beating Trump by 10 percentage points.
- Biden won 55 percent to Trump’s 45 percent
- Sanders won 55 percent to Trump’s 45 percent
- Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., won 52 percent to Trump’s 48 percent
- Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., won 51 percent to Trump’s 48 percent
- Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, won 51 percent to Trump’s 49 percent
Pennsylvania voters were critical of Trump’s job performance, with only 41 percent giving him a favorable rating, and 51 percent disapproving. The president does maintain a strong advantage in a potential primary contest with former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, 90 percent to 10 percent.
Emerson polled 808 registered voters in Pennsylvania from March 26-28, with a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.
