Center For American Greatness/Insider Advantage Poll: Trump 48.4, Biden 45.5

President Donald Trump has taken a slight lead over former Vice President Joe Biden in Pennsylvania, according to polling commissioned by this conservative website

An Insider Advantage phone poll commissioned by the Center for American Greatness of likely voters in the state shows Trump leading Biden by just under 3 points, 48.4%-to-45.5%, while 3.3% said they would vote for Libertarian presidential candidate Jo Jorgenesen, and 2.8% are undecided. 

According to analysts at FiveThirtyEight, Insider Advantage has an overall B- grade. NPR describes the Center for American Greatness as a “conservative website.” 

This is an improvement for Trump in comparison to their poll conducted two weeks ago that showed Biden leading Trump by 3 points, 45.8%-to-42.6%.

While Trump is ahead in this poll, a significant majority of public polling released in October has consistently shown Biden leading in the state, although the margin varies by the pollster. According to Real Clear Politics, this latest poll is the first one in Pennsylvania that has shown Trump in the lead since a CNBC/Change Research poll conducted in late-May that showed Trump ahead by 4 points.

  1. This is one of those push polls trying to promote a candidate than actually measure the temperature of the voters. Pity. Polls are serious business and some of them make a joke out of this line of work. Shameful.

  2. What a farce. No self-respecting pundit nor voter should take this seriously. It’s not a poll. It’s propaganda.

  3. That’s what a real poll looks like when a conservative political group tags its member by telephone to find out who they’ll vote for. I win by 2%.

    1. When people all over the world wake up every morning, the first question they ask is, “What has that idiot done now?” It is going to be so relaxing without your constant chaos.
