There has been little change in polling numbers in the two key swing states of Florida and Pennsylvania since September, the latest ABC News/Washington Post election poll found.
According to the poll, Trump leads in Florida with 50% support among likely voters, while Biden get 48%. In September, the previous ABC News/Washington Post poll found 51%-47% in Trump's favor for the state.
In Pennsylvania, Biden leads by a 7 point margin, with 51% to Trump's 44%, compared to a 9 point margin of 54% to Trump's 45% last month.
However, The Washington Post noted that, while the change in Pennsylvania is slight, Biden no longer holds a statistically significant advantage given the 4 point sampling error.
Among the other findings of the poll were that Hispanics divide closely in Florida – 51% for Biden, 47% for Trump, with significant support for Trump among Cuban Americans.
Similarly, seniors divide closely in Florida given the sample size at 54-45%, while favoring Biden 57-42% in Pennsylvania. Florida seniors are 17 points more likely to prioritize restarting the economy over controlling the coronavirus, 13 points more likely to approve of Trump’s handling of the economy and 9 points less worried about catching the virus than their counterparts in Pennsylvania.
