Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman has pulled ahead as the Democratic U.S. Senate front-runner over U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb, while the GOP primary for the country's most-watched Senate race remains wide open, according to a Franklin & Marshall College Poll released Thursday.
Fetterman now leads the Democratic primary with 41% of registered Democrats saying they'd support him in the upcoming May 17 election and 26% who are still undecided, according to the poll. Approximately 17% of voters said they'd support Lamb, while only 4% said they'd support state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta.
"If you are a candidate, you want to be in Fetterman's position," said Berwood Yost, the director of Franklin & Marshall College's Center for Opinion Research, based in Lancaster. "(Fetterman) seemed to solidify his advantage. It doesn't seem like Lamb is making any inroads in his name recognition."
