The frenzy of presidential campaigning that Pennsylvania has already seen so far this year is expected to intensify as November approaches.
We've been here before: Trump and Biden face off for the White House.
“There are more similarities than differences from the last round in 2020,” said Chris Bolick, a political science professor at Muhlenberg College.
As for who's at the top of the polls right now, it depends on which poll you're looking at.
“If you look at the overall consensus in the polls right now, it shows a close race. That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. 2020 was a close race,” Bolick said.
Borick thinks it's too early to read too much into the polls at this point.
“We're more than six months away from the election, and we do know where each race stands in certain polls, but I'm going to put a modicum of faith in that,” Bolick said.
Bolick says it's a dead heat right now.
“This is a race that many people expected to be between two high-profile figures who are polarizing in many ways. Will core voters turn out? It will be crucial again to be able to get more results,” Bolick said. He said.
And the all-important nation? Pennsylvania.
“Pennsylvania is going to be a tough battle all the way to the end,” Bolick said.
And it's very close. So while candidates are emerging, it's just getting started.
“I think the current polling results would logically be expected to be written for a hotly contested race leading up to November,” Bolick said.
