As Democrats fight to keep control of the Pa. House, poll shows their agenda is popular

HARRISBURG — As Democrats seek to maintain their slim majority in the Pennsylvania House, a new poll shows the main tenets of their policy agenda are popular with most voters.

The party currently holds 102 seats to Republicans’ 101. Democrats flipped the chamber in 2022 after more than a decade of GOP control.

Still, the opinions of voters statewide matter little in legislative races. Less than a dozen are considered competitive, meaning a small number of voters will determine which party wins the chamber.

With the state Senate likely to stay under Republican control, a Democratic majority in the state House is key to advancing Gov. Josh Shapiro’s agenda and blocking constitutional amendments favored by the GOP including expanded voter ID.
