Sioux Falls, SD, October 17, 2026 —
A recent poll indicates that Republican Rep. Scott Perry is narrowly trailing his Democratic challenger in a Pennsylvania reelection contest. The summary of the poll does not identify the challenger or provide the size of the reported gap.
Other details needed to assess the finding are not available in the information provided. The poll’s sponsor, field dates, sample size, methodology and margin of error were not specified. The results therefore offer a limited snapshot: they indicate Perry is behind, but do not establish how large or statistically significant the difference may be.
The poll summary also does not state whether respondents were asked about a head-to-head matchup, whether undecided voters were included in the reported figures, or how the result compares with earlier polling. No vote percentages were provided. Without those details, the poll cannot be placed in a broader trend based on the information available.
Perry is identified in the poll summary as a Republican representative seeking reelection in Pennsylvania. His Democratic opponent’s name and any campaign responses to the poll were not provided. The summary likewise contains no information about the candidates’ positions, campaign activity or other factors that might help explain the result.
The finding is limited to the recent poll described in the summary. Further information about the poll and the contest was not provided, so the available account does not establish whether the reported standing is consistent with other measurements or how the race may develop.
