A new CNN poll shows Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro with a 15-point lead over state Sen. Doug Mast.
According to a CNN/SSRS poll of 905 registered voters conducted between October 13 and 17 and with a margin of error of 4.1 points, nearly half of the voters plan to vote for Mastriano.
There is a chance that the race could shift in the GOP's favor if the party rallies behind Mastriano before Election Day.
Independent voters are behind the man who leads them by a wide margin.
The Democratic candidate leads by 8.6 points in FiveThirtyEight's weighted polling average, but a few polls give him a double-digit advantage.
In Pennsylvania, 70% of voters said they were very or somewhat confident that their votes would be counted accurately, compared to just 42% of Republicans.
A CNN/SSRS poll shows John Fetterman leading Mehmet Oz in the race for the Pennsylvania Senate. Fetterman has a 2.6 point lead.
In a CNN/SSRS poll released Monday, 99% of Democratic voters in Michigan voted for the incumbent, compared to her Republican opponent, who received 89% of the vote.
The race to replace Gov. Tom Wolf has become a controversial one. Mastriano promised to make all Pennsylvanians re-register to vote if he became governor after repeating false voter fraud claims promoted by allies of Donald Trump. The candidate attacked the father for sending his children to a privileged, exclusive, elite Jewish day school, and an advisor wrote on his behalf that the father is a secular Jew. The state of Pennsylvania is home to the Tree of Life synagogue, where 11 people were shot and killed in an antisemitic attack in the year 2000. The New York Times reported that Mastriano issued a statement condemning antisemitism after it was revealed that his campaign paid Gab to post antisemitic rants.
