In Pennsylvania, where Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is in a heated matchup against GOP nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz in the battle for the state's open Senate seat, a new poll suggests that voters prefer the Democratic candidate on critical issues, despite the majority of respondents having an unfavorable opinion of Democrat President Biden.
A new Monmouth University survey among voters in Pennsylvania found that despite Biden's underwater approval rating, the majority of voters trust Fetterman over Oz to best handle every issue of top concern, including abortion, the economy, crime and immigration.
"The economy is an issue that has generally helped Republicans in national polling, but Oz has not been able to capitalize on it," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.
Just 36% of respondents said they trusted Oz best on jobs, the economy and cost-of-living issues, compared to 45% who said the same of Fetterman. The poll showed an increase in the share who trusted Fetterman on the economy from 41% in Monmouth's September poll, while the percentage who trusted Oz more remained steady.

This should end any doubt for people just how deepstate Fox news is.
The number one issues for Democrats are abortion and gay marriage. They’ll do whatever it takes to promote and defend those issues.
Even though Oz is a bit of a squish, they will not risk seeing him in office. For them a loon or a guy with dementia is no problem as long as they can be sure on those issues.
Jesus?!?
Hahah.
Expecting someone to actually be remotely conservative and not a fraud is not expecting Jesus.
Gun grabber, pro trans kids, would certify a fraudulent election
Expecting better than that doesn’t make me expect jesus…
OZ is no conservative let alone MAGA… he’s a fraud and a fake…
Same here...my wife and I voted for Barnette in the primary. My wife was convinced when she heard her on the “Chris Stigall” show.
I despise Oz, but I believe Fetterman is an actual Nazi-—he is a racist for holding a black jogger at gun point and attacking a black night club.
I have to vote for Oz only to control the senate.
However, my bigger concern is Mastriano...I have little hope of him winning but a few people that break down elections have him in a dead heat with Shapiro. Reason-—they stated that western counties aren’t being polled in PA. 5 blue counties in western PA flipped RED in 2018——We need him to win. I’m not putting up with 8 more years of “Wolf”.
Yup- Liz cheney has come out and stated that is exactly what she will do- work to defeat candidates in the republican party that she doesn’t like
She is a female Benedict Arnold
Huh?
Fetterman wants to defund the police and has never run a business or worked in the private sector.
PA voters are not stupid...
Probably.

In this general election, your vote for anyone other than the GOP candidate -- as flawed as he may be -- helps only Fetterman which, I can only presume, is not your intent, but is clearly the reality. And it amazes me that you announce this proudly and publicly.
Through your obstinence you have helped a person who has publicly avowed his intent to support the destruction of our American Republic. There is simply no other practical conclusion for a conservative to come to.
So in not voting, it IS a VOTE for FETTERWOMAN!! Can’t you see that??
Please use his full name, The Ogre Fetterman, when referring to him. Thank you.
And democrats support a chomo and his chomo actions as president.
Yes, the poll makes perfect sense. :)
Faux News - any question?
Shrek is wrong on every issue. He will kill the whole rodent ticket.
BTW
Apparently the moral rot at the Faux polling section has spread to the whole operation. The quislings on the Morning show have shown their true colors and I don’t trust the little Leprechaun either. The only exception is Carlson.
This is how a fake conservative defends siding with the Democrats on an issue. It doesn’t go far enough. The candidate isn’t conservative enough. If we let the Democrat win people will see how bad he is and vote for a real conservative next time. We should have picked someone with less baggage, not realizing that every Repub has baggage, and if he doesn’t have baggage they’ll invent some. The same people who sat home because Trump wasn’t conservative enough.
Like Liz Cheney.
Sorry your “argument” is not an argument for liberty it’s an argument for orthodoxy…
What is allowed is what will continue… GOP will continue to put up crap candidates as long as people idiotically follow the orthodoxy you are attempting to justify.
What is permitted is what will continue… until folks like you wake up and stop rewarding ineptitude, fraud and corruption that is all you will get. What you permit is what will continue..
I will not hold my nose and vote for a fraudulent, liberal, self serving hack, just because he has an R by his name… you want OZ in the senate, please, invite him to run on CA next cycle.
I will not be part of putting this douchebag into office.. neither of these douche bags should be near the Senate, and I will not give either of them my vote because NEITHER of them are worthy of it.
You don’t like it? I really don’t care. I lived in your state, so I know first hand how well your electorate has managed to deal with leftists, excuse me if I refuse to take advice from them
I hope you reconsider ... I truly do, my FRiend ... and I thank you not only for your civil response but also for confirming my point.
Can’t you see that it as much as flappy headed idiots in DC and NYC try to convince you that the Uniparty actually has two sides, they are the same.
OZ and Fetterman are both Uniparty hacks… believing otheriwise is foolish
Fetterman wins in 6 years I have a chance to advance a true conservative. OZ wins and I’m stuck with a Rino at best for 12-18 years.
No thanks.
Please, OZ doesn’t have baggage he’s just another GOPe Uniparty hack..
Anyone thinking OZ is a conservative let alone MAGA at any level is a fool.
Toomey was far morE conservative than OZ is or ever will be and we ran him out on a rail but now you want us to put someone in office even less conservative ?
No thanks
To channel Ross Perot, there isn’t a dimes worth of difference between these two and folks who believe there is are deluding themselves
Oz is the candidate only because Trump picked him. If he loses and Democrats hold the Senate, it will be Trump’s fault.
Except Fetterman wants to kill off the Filibuster, which would Sovietize the Senate.
