Harrisburg Lancaster Lebanon York, PA, October 22, 2026 —
A new Franklin and Marshall College poll indicates Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is leading Republican challenger Stacy Garrity in the state’s governor’s race. The summary of the poll does not provide the size of Shapiro’s lead or other numerical results.
It also does not specify when the poll was conducted, how many people were surveyed, how respondents were selected, or the margin of error. Those details were not provided, so the reported finding alone does not show how broad or close the contest may be among voters.
The information available identifies Shapiro as the leading candidate in the poll and Garrity as his Republican challenger. It does not include results for other candidates, if any, or describe how respondents were asked about the race. No statements from either candidate or their campaigns were included.
Without the poll’s figures and methodology, the finding offers a limited snapshot rather than a detailed account of voter sentiment. The available summary does not provide a release date or additional context about the poll. Further details about the survey were not provided.
