A slate of poor national polling for Vice President Kamala Harris filtered down into the swing states on Monday after election officials in a critical swing state reported a jump in enthusiasm for the GOP ticket.
A survey of political party affiliation among Pennsylvania voters showed that Republican Party registrations are outpacing their Democratic counterparts by a two-to-one margin, according to pollster Michael Pruser with Decision Desk HQ. During the month of September, more than 60,000 voters registered as Republicans while less than 37,000 registered as Democrats. Another 32,698 voters registered as independents.

The change comes in what is shaping to be the most pivotal battleground of the 2024 election and will surely spark another round of recriminations among angsty Democrats. After Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania’s popular two-term Democratic governor, was passed over for Harris’s vice presidential pick, allies worried about the ramifications as well as concerns that the party was kowtowing to openly antisemitic elements within the party. Shapiro is Jewish and a vocal supporter of Israel. At the same time, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has openly speculated that former President Donald Trump will carry his home state.
