Results in these states are too close to call, prompting the parties to invest time, money, and energy to gain an edge in these states. Pennsylvania, in particular, is a swing state with the electoral heft to decide the election. Another poll by Redfield & Wilton Strategies in partnership with The Telegraph showed that Trump led Biden by 40% to 39% in Pennsylvania.
