Fetterman Free Fall: Poll Shows Democrat Campaign Collapse in Pennsylvania
breitbart.com ^ | 9/28/22 | PAUL BOIS

Posted on 09/29/2022 5:41:50 AM PDT by cotton1706

Republican Mehmet Oz has further put himself within striking distance of his Democrat opponent in the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race, with the latest Fox News poll showing he trails by just four points.

Surveying 1,008 registered Pennsylvania voters between September 22-26 with a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points, the new poll puts Fetterman at 45 percent while Oz stands at 41 percent, a full four points within the sampling error and a tremendous surge for Oz, who trailed Fetterman by 11 points in late July.

Neither candidate enjoys majority support, with the three percent going to independent Everrett Stern and 11 percent undecided.

“A large 82 percent majority feels certain they will vote, rating themselves a 10 out of 10, and among this subgroup, Fetterman is also ahead by 4 points, 48 percent – 44 percent,” Fox News noted.

Most importantly, the poll shows that Fetterman’s cognitive issues, as evidenced by his frequent incoherent gaffes on the campaign trail, have become a cause for concern among voters, while concerns of Mehmet Oz’s alleged carpetbagger status as a former New Jerseyan has decreased. A full 34 percent expressed extreme worry that Fetterman will not be mentally competent enough to perform his job, an 11-point jump from the same poll in July.

In July, 52 percent of those polled expressed concerns over Mehmet Oz’s carpetbagger status; that concern has since seen a nine-point drop.

The Democrats will count on Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to mitigate this.

We'll see what happens.

120 percent turnout in Philadelphia will do the trick.

Daron Shaw, the pollster here is a Bush stooge from Texas, which is why all Fox polls should be considered worthless.

Wait until the debate, people will have to admit that Fetterman is unable to function.

If there is a debate. And by then it may well be too late. A sad state of affairs.

Fetterman is the only person who could lose to Oz and Oz is the only person who could lose to Fetterman.

We may never see a poll showing Oz in the lead, but it’s growing increasingly clear that he will win in November.

“register voters”. I stopped reading right there. With that said, I think Oz will win. But I don’t base that on polls of registered voters. It is essentially meaningless and there is no sound reason to be influenced by such a poll. You can say the same thing about leftist pollsters that over sample Democrats. The swing in voter registration in PA towards Republicans makes PA about a +2 D state. Few polls sample PA at D+2.

”Surveying 1,008 registered Pennsylvania voters …”

Add 5 to 7 points to Oz. That is the typical difference between Likely Voter and Registered Voter polls. Fox is just trying to hold up Fetterman. An honest poll would show him trailing by a point or two.

Fetterman is one weird looking dude who seems to be enamoured with criminals. The race really should be a lot more competitive, but a lot of people do see Oz as an out-of-state usurper.

That this is even a race, that they don’t just stop now and make Oz Senator by acclamation, is troubling. The Ogre Fetterman in the Senate is a frightening thought!

Why is this even a contest? The people of PA should be ashamed that it is.

Obviously, the phrase “free-fall” is a bit overstated.

If they can drag Biden across the finish line they can get anyone elected. I’m not considering this done until it’s done. And maybe not even then.

I agree. I'm perplexed.

Although the cheat is strong in Pennsylvania.
I remember they did make up over 700,000 votes for Biden in the wee hours of the morning.

Almost nobody watches U.S. Senate debates in Pennsylvania. Don’t know about Fetterman, but Bob Casey, Jr.’s handlers are careful to schedule his single debate (where he is fed answers through an earpiece) in the same time slot as a Penn State, Eagles or Steeler’s game.

The Democrats will count on Democrat voting monitors in Philadelphia (and, to a lesser extent, Pittsburgh) to mitigate this. Philly will have up to 150% turnout for this election if necessary.

I disagree with half that statement. I’m not a big fan of Oz, but I said from the start of this campaign season that Oz would outperform all his GOP competitors in this Senate race.

The Ogre Fetterman in the Senate is a frightening thought!

The only difference between the orge and the smarmy little prick Conor Lamb whom he soundly defeated in the Democrat Primary is that the ogre will vote the communist line 100% of the time whereas the smarmy little prick will only do so 98.5% of the time.
