While Republicans remain split over their own candidates, more than half of all the registered Democratic voters who were surveyed by Franklin and Marshall College in late April said they plan to vote for John Fetterman in the U.S. Senate primary, according to a poll released Thursday.
Fetterman, Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor, leads U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb 53% to 14% in the new poll, which surveyed 357 registered Democrats from April 20 to May 1. State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta registered in third place at 4%, with Jenkintown Councilwoman Alex Khalil trailing the pack at 1%.
This represents a 12-point bump for Fetterman since the last F&M poll, conducted in early April when he was at 41%. In that time frame, Lamb dropped 3 points and Kenyatta didn't move the needle.
