Former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump in the 2020 general election among Pennsylvania voters, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll released Wednesday.

The poll found that Biden, the Democratic frontrunner, led Trump 53 to 42 percent. Trump narrowly won Pennsylvania in 2016, allowing him to win the presidency.

In the weeks since he's announced his candidacy, Biden, who was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, has become a frontrunner who has been polling well in early voting states, won high-profile endorsements and has fundraised more money than other Democratic candidates.

Both he and Trump will be campaigning in Pennsylvania in the coming days. On Saturday, Biden will hold his first rally at the plaza in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where he will campaign on the idea of unifying a divided nation.

Trump will have a rally in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, on Monday, the day before residents in the area vote for a new U.S. representative. In 2016, Trump won Lycoming County by more than 50 percent.

“Quite frankly, folks," Biden said at the Pittsburgh union hall in April, "if I’m going to be able to beat Donald Trump in 2020, it’s going to happen here."

The Quinnipiac University poll found a gap among men and women, with 60 percent of Pennsylvania women supporting Biden. Men, however, were more divided, with 49 percent supporting Trump, compared with 45 percent for Biden.

Trump was favored by 90 percent of Pennsylvania Republicans, while Biden was supported by 93 percent of Democratic voters and 51 percent of independent voters.

Here's how other Democratic candidates matched up against Trump in the poll:

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont over Trump 50 - 43 percent

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 47 percent to Trump's 44 percent

Trump and Sen. Kamala Harris of California split 45 - 45 percent

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 45 percent to Trump's 44 percent

Trump at 46 percent to 44 percent for former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas.
