Can I still get unemployment insurnace if I’m fired for poor performance?

I've been struggling at work for the last few months. I think the company is about to fire me. I have proof to show that my manager was picking on me (2 documented instances in informal convo with said manager and a coworker separately). Also there was a point my manager and upper management called me in for a meeting where I was told I was incompetent in my work and unprofessional (because of a typo!). Manager has recently had an issue with typos in my work (despite me having implemented all her tips and tricks and played around with settings). I offered to run my work through a manual spell check, or some other software since my current system isn't working, she said no for security reasons. She refuses to acknowledge progress and makes a small comment overshadowed by the issue of typos. I've been at the company for…

Manager has recently had an issue with typos in my work (despite me having implemented all her tips and tricks and played around with settings). I offered to run my work through a manual spell check, or some other software since my current system isn't working, she said no for security reasons. She refuses to acknowledge progress and makes a small comment overshadowed by the issue of typos. I've been at the company for about 1.5 years and she's been on my case about progress for 6 months (issue of typos started before then but she's never mentioned it till about 3 months ago). I'm now at a point where I've progressed content wise but not typos and she's hyperixating on that (and yes I recognize its an issue and I'm proactively trying to address it).

I've been given a verbal (about following time off request policies that were lax before but now only strictly apply to me, one of my documented picking on me issues) and written warning (where I was told I was incompetent and unprofessional verbally because of typos) and I feel I am about to be put on PIP. The company policy says next step is termination for just cause. Would I be able to get unemployment insurance if it gets to that point?
