Democrat Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump by four points in Pennsylvania, a new Spotlight PA poll of likely voters in the critical swing state shows.
The vice president won 50% support among those surveyed, while the former president secured 46%. The two other presidential candidates who will appear on Pennsylvania’s Nov. 5 ballot — Jill Stein of the Green Party and Libertarian Chase Oliver — polled at 1% and less than 1%, respectively.
One election I'm interested in downballot is Massachusetts' Question 1.
If passed it would specifically state that the State Auditor has the power to audit the state legislature. The currently elected auditor was rebuffed by the legislature when she tried to audit them, then the state AG refused to back her up.
My interest is threefold:
(1) I want to live in MA, so I care more about their nuts & bolts politics than I do most states.
(2) It's absurd to me to imagine that an elected office of State Auditor isn't allowed to audit an entire branch of the state government. The arguments put forth by the legislature are unconvincing.
(3) MA's legislature is underachieving considering the balance of power and ideology of the median state voter. Anything that puts even a little bit of pressure on them to be better is of interest to me.
On more standard partisan politics, I really want to see how Texas and Alaska end up in the presidential race plus AK-AL and TX-Sen. I'm optimistic about our prospects in each state in the medium term and want to see what this year's data points suggest for their trends.
