PA-GOV: Shapiro holds a wide lead over Garrity in new poll.

Governor Shapiro’s job approval ratings are holding up pretty well considering how much pessimism voters express. About the same number of voters believe he is doing an “excellent” or “good” job (48%) as governor as believe he is doing a “fair” or “poor” job (48%). Three in four Democrats, almost half of independents, and just over a quarter of Republicans rate the governor’s performance as “excellent” or “good.” Governor Shapiro currently leads his Republican challenger, Stacy Garrity, 50% to 28%, in the 2026 governor’s race....

Fewer voters believe President Trump is doing an “excellent” or “good” job (29%) as president than believe he is doing a “fair” or “poor” job (71%), which is a sizable decline since our March poll when his positive approval rating was 39% (Figure 2). His positive approval ratings declined within every partisan group. Two in three Republicans, one in seven independents, and only one in twenty Democrats rate the president’s job performance as “excellent” or “good.” The president’s approval ratings for his specific policy actions around immigration, foreign affairs, and inflation have all declined since October. His administration’s handling of inflation fell from 31% positive in October to 17% positive today. Democrats currently lead Republicans by 12 points, 47% to 35%, in voters’ preferences for the US House of Representatives.
