The GOP has also seen a larger boost in registrations than Democrats in three critical areas across Pennsylvania: Erie, Luzerne and Northampton counties, all of which helped Trump flip the state by backing him after supporting former President Barack Obama in 2012.
The democrats can keep their HUGE advantage overall in Philly, it won't matter with the right areas going for Trump!
Overall, registered Democrats now make up 47 percent of the state’s electorate, down from 49 percent in September 2016. Republicans comprise 39 percent, up from 38 percent four years ago. Many party officials credit Trump himself for narrowing the gap.

Bonier also argued that Democratic-controlled local governments have cleaned their voter files more vigorously than those run by Republicans, and that voters who have registered as unaffiliated are likely to lean Democratic. As for those Democrats or independents who registered as Republicans, he said it is a lagging indicator.
“There are a lot of truths. The undeniable truth, on one hand, is that ... the Democratic voter registration advantage in Pennsylvania has undeniably narrowed,” Bonier said in an interview. “At the same time, undeniably, Democrats have registered more voters over that same time period than Republicans.”
Lawrence Tabas, leader of the Pennsylvania Republican Party, said Democrats are making excuses.
“If I were them, I would say that I think voter registration is some sort of a lagging issue. You would, too,” he said. “Having this additional edge of newly registered Republicans from the Democratic base, these are people who are going to vote in November. These people are committed.”
The most striking example is Pennsylvania, where nearly 175,000 Democrats who sat out the last race have requested ballots, more than double the number of Republicans, according to an analysis of voter rolls by TargetSmart." politi.co/33gXcoT via @politico
