Franklin & Marshall Poll Release: September 2022 [1]
[]
Date: 2022-09
The September 2022 Franklin & Marshall College Poll finds that Pennsylvania’s registered voters are restive, with economic concerns remaining high and voters continuing to feel deeply frustrated and mostly dissatisfied with President Biden’s performance. Concerns about the economy (27%), including unemployment, personal finances, and gas prices, remain the most important problems facing Pennsylvania according to voters. Pennsylvania voters remain pessimistic about conditions in the state and the nation. Only one in four (28%) registered voters believes the state is “headed in the right direction.” Three in four (75%) Pennsylvania voters believe that things in the US are “on the wrong track.” Republicans continue to lead in the generic ballot in Pennsylvania, 43% to 39%. Voter interest in the 2022 mid-term races is similar to the levels expressed by Pennsylvania’s registered voters during the 2018 mid-terms.
Democrat Josh Shapiro currently holds an advantage over Republican Doug Mastriano in the 2022 race for Pennsylvania Governor, 51% to 37%, when voters who lean toward a candidate are included, although the race is marginally closer among likely voters (52% to 42%). Shapiro receives a larger share of Democrats (83%) than Mastriano receives among Republicans (69%), and Shapiro also leads among independent voters 54% to 35%. The dynamics of the governor’s race have changed little since August: Shapiro held a 48% to 36% lead in late August and voters’ feelings toward the candidates, as measured by how favorably each is viewed, have changed little. Shapiro is viewed more favorably (45%) than unfavorably (33%) by the state’s voters, while Mastriano tends to be viewed more unfavorably (52%) than favorably (27%).
