Former President Donald Trump has nearly doubled his lead with men in Pennsylvania in the final run-up to the November election, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

Trump leads with men in Pennsylvania by a staggering 20 points against Vice President Kamala Harris, compared to his 11-point lead in an Oct. 9 poll, according to Quinnipiac’s latest survey conducted from Oct. 24 to Oct. 28. While Trump has dominated the demographic overall, the new data suggests the Harris campaign’s push to win over men has not been effective.

Trump is ahead by only one point overall in the state, according to the poll. However, the results mark the first time Quinnipiac has shown the former president with a lead in the state.

Another Echelon Insights poll released late October shows Trump ahead in Pennsylvania by five points.

The Harris campaign has attempted multiple times to appeal to male voters. One ad released was described by former Biden White House director of message planning Meghan Hays as “condescending” and urged Harris to change her tactics.

“And I know it’s my party, but it just comes across as condescending, and that ad seemed like a joke to me,” Hays said. “The message is just so condescending, and I think that the authenticity point is a really good one, that if Democrats really want to go after men, they need to figure out a better way to talk to them, and they need to figure out a better way that’s more genuine to who they are in their message.”

Nationwide, men still favor Trump over Harris by six points, according to a CNN poll conducted from Oct. 20 to Oct. 23. The race remains deadlocked overall with a tie at 48%, according to a TIPP Insights poll conducted from Oct. 28 to Oct. 30.

The Trump campaign has made efforts to reach out to young men, such as going on podcasts like “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the “Full Send Podcast” and “This Past Weekend” with Theo Von. Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance most recently talked for three hours with Rogan on his podcast aired Thursday.

The Quinnipiac poll surveyed 2,186 likely voters in Pennsylvania and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.1%.

The Trump and Harris campaigns did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
