About this Poll

President Obama’s support among likely Pennsylvania voters slipped to a narrow lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney as concern over the economy intensified, according to a Susquehanna Polling & Research survey released on Friday.

The poll, conducted for the Republican State Committee, shows Obama leading Romney 46 percent to 43 percent, with a 3.46 percentage point margin of error.

Obama’s lead is half what the Democratic polling firm Public Policy Polling found in a survey released on Wednesday.

“You’re looking at the potential for a pretty close race,” said Jim Lee, president of the Susquehanna polling firm.

The poll of 800 likely voters took place July 19-23. A Susquehanna Poll from June showed Obama leading 48 percent to 43 percent.
