In 2016, places like Erie went from voting for Obama twice to supporting Trump. What can we expect this time around? Muhlenberg College’s CHRISTOPHER BORICK and Mercyhurst University’s JOSEPH MORRIS walk us through the latest polling data and the issues resonating with rural voters.

University of Pittsburgh’s LARA PUTNAM takes us through Pennsylvania’s diverse suburbs and tells us how the women are voting.
