Allies of Republican Senate candidate Dr Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania have dramatically increased their funding for his candidacy in the state, with new polls released Tuesday suggesting that their contributions are impacting the race.
Fetterman currently leads Oz by under 2%, gaining 47.7% of the vote to Oz’s 45.9%, per a September poll by the Trafalgar Group – within the margin of error of 2.9%. In July, the same poll showed Fetterman leading Oz by 5%, outside the margin of error.
The new polling data follows reports of concern within Fetterman’s campaign about being outspent by Oz’s team. In a memo to top donors on Sept. 13, Fetterman’s campaign manager Brendan McPhillips expressed alarm over the scale of spending by Oz’s camp, per extracts of the memo leaked by Politico.
“In the last three weeks alone, Republicans have spent nearly $12 million dollars — significantly outspending us and out-communicating on the airwaves. We cannot allow this to continue unabated,” wrote McPhillips in the memo he termed “a wake-up call.”
Data on advertising patterns shows that Oz’s spending on television and social media ads began to outstrip Fetterman in August, with the gap increasing in September. In October, the last month before the election in November, pro-Oz spending in the state is set to outstrip pro-Fetterman spots by over $6 million, per data sold by AdImpact, an advertising analytics firm.
The fundraising momentum for Oz comes as Fetterman faces growing and bipartisan criticism for refusing to participate in debates with Oz. Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in May and spent several months recovering before speaking at events, has said that he requires more time to recover,

Damn. Every race is a two point lead. Next week it will be a two point lead...Narrowing to a two point lead.
It takes money to win these races. Some of the MAGA candidates cannot win because they are getting no monetary support!
Anybody with a guess as to what that large growth could be on the back of his neck? I’m waiting for the Alien to explode out of it.
Polls are pure leftist gaslighting at this point.
the sad truth is that with Shapiro up over 10 in the Governors race, it’s going to be nearly impossible for Oz to win.
There are just not that many cross-over voters.
The same thing will probably help Hershal Walker win the Senate race in Georgia. Kemp is waaaay head of Abrams and will probably drag Walker over the finish line with him.
But the good news is we are up in Nevada! And if we win Nevada, we have a good chance of taking the Senate even without an Oz win.
Get off of your soapbox. Trafalgar has Shapiro up only 2.
I don’t look at individual polls, I look at averages of all polls like you find at Real Clear politics.
Trafalgar is the most accurate poll.
He’s got bitch tits like Bob from Fight club.
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Pennsylvania Lt. Governor.
Apparently the lump on his neck isn’t the only one that needs to be addressed.
and there hasn’t been a single poll with Oz beating Fetterman and Shapiro is running consistently about 3 points stronger than Fetterman with many polls showing Shapiro with double digit leads similar to the Abbott and Beto polls for governor here in Texas.
I am afraid Penn might be lost this cycle.
But like I said, we are going amazing in Nevada and can take control of the Senate most likely if we win that even without Penn.
I am having trouble understanding why ANYONE would vote for Fetterman.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
First thread on FR I see this a.m. has Fetterman up by 7pts. (51%-44%).
Now a thread has Oz down by only 2 pts.
In 15 minutes, there should be a new thread showing Oz up by 5.
It’s like the old saying attributed to Mark Twain. “If you don’t like the weather now, wait 5 minutes.”
Almost time to start the October Surprises.
