PITTSBURGH — The good news for Republican Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race is that voters in the state — according to a new poll — care most about economic issues, inflation and rising costs, which have been staples of the national GOP agenda ahead of a midterm election that’s largely a referendum on current Democratic control.
The bad news for Oz? Voters seem to trust his Democratic opponent, John Fetterman, more on those key issues and generally hold a more favorable view of the lieutenant governor, the poll found.
The topline of the Monmouth University Poll released Wednesday — sampling 605 registered voters in Pennsylvania — is that 49% of those surveyed said they would definitely or probably vote for Fetterman in November, compared to 39% for Oz.
