Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris by two points in Pennsylvania with Trump's 51 percent going against Harris' 49 percent in a head-to-head race. The figure included undecided voters when they had to make a decision between the two, according to a new Emerson poll.

The poll was released on Friday and was conducted with 1,000 likely voters between Aug. 13-14 with a margin of error of 3 points. Emerson's summary highlighted that "independents are leaning slightly towards Trump, with 48 percent supporting him compared to 45 percent for Harris." When undecided voters are not added in, Trump leads Harris 49 to 48 points. With other candidates added to the mix, the two major nominees tie at 47. 

The Emerson poll comes as Harris has seen a bump in the polls since taking over for Biden as the Democratic presumptive nominee, however, Trump's lead is significant as it may signal that the "honeymoon period" for Harris after taking the nomination is wearing off, as the last two major polls in Pennsylvania have been in favor of Harris, per Real Clear Polling

“Pennsylvania likely voters in unions break for Harris by 15 points, 57% to 42%, while those not in a union and without union members in the household break for Trump, 50% to 48%,” executive director of Emerson College Polling Spencer Kimball said of the poll. 

The economy and inflation was the top issue for the majority of those surveyed in the poll, with 508 out of 1,000 saying that it was their main concern. Pennsylvanians were also polled about who they trust more with fracking, one of the top industries in the state. Nearly 50 percent of those in the poll said they trusted Trump more on the issue with Harris having only about 43 percent of those in the poll trusting her on the issue.
