Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, will also be in the Keystone State this week, holding a Wednesday rally at Kenworth of Pennsylvania, just outside of Scranton. Click here for tickets.

The candidates have been making frequent stops to Philadelphia and the suburbs as the campaign for president is in full swing.

Trump has made two recent appearances in Philadelphia. Last week, he spoke at The Union League of Philadelphia. The week before, he conducted a private meeting with African-American voters during an event coordinated by the Greater Exodus Baptist Church.

Clinton has held several rallies across Pennsylvania and recently made a stop at a Montgomery County business.

Pennsylvania is a critical swing state in this year's presidential election. Trump's campaign has said it believes the state's demographics are favorable for him to win here, but all the recent polling indicates Clinton is currently favored in the Keystone State.

A Quinnipiac poll taken from Aug. 29 to Sept. 7 gives Clinton a five-point advantage in Pennsylvania. A CBS News poll taken from Aug. 30 to Sept. 2 has Clinton up by eight points.
