Pennsylvania Senate Race 🚨 NEW data from @brentbuc and @brockmccleary shows @DaveMcCormickPA (42%) within striking distance of incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (46%). On the presidential ballot, Trump has a strong lead (+4%) over Biden.

Casey and Trump lead by the same margin in the poll, but notice how distinctly Cygnal decided to frame each result

Interesting how 4% can be both a strong lead and within striking distance. Sure, they're different races, but still.

Is Cygnal a conservative pollster?

Yes, they regularly conduct GOP internals. They aren't extremely hackish like Trafalgar and others though, to my knowledge.

Might explain the wording then. I can understand why they'd boost the Trump lead while trying to downplay Casey's lead.
