Poll: Pennsylvanians Don't Like Tariffs or Trump

A new NBC News/Marist poll in Pennsylvania finds that 45% of voters believe that tariffs and other import barriers will raise costs of consumer goods and hurt the country’s economy. By comparison, just 27% believe they will protect American jobs and help the economy.

Meanwhile, President Trump’s approval rate is a lowly 37% to 53%.

Gov. Tom Wolf (D) and Sen. Bob Casey (D) are both comfortably ahead of their Republican opponents this fall.

He won it by the skin of his teeth in 2016, he's unpopular there and it's a purple state that's trending blue demographically, similar to what's happened with Virginia and Colorado.

who knows what else, IQ45 should not have won in 2016 - nor should we have Toomey as a Senator.
I realize that many consider Pennsylvania as part of Pennsyltucky, but it should not have been one of the 3 states that flipped it over to Voldemort.
