Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz is rising in the polls against his Democratic rival, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, and has nearly overcome his opponent in one recent survey.
Oz took 43% support from very likely voters, compared to 45% who backed Fetterman in an Emerson College/The Hill poll, released Thursday. While Fetterman retained a lead, the poll’s margin of error is +/- 3%, meaning the race is a statistical dead heat.
Moreover, Oz has cut his opponent’s lead in half since the poll’s August iteration, matching a general trend across other polls showing improvement for the Trump-backed health personality.
The RealClearPolitics polling average showed Fetterman still leading by 4.1% on Friday. On Aug. 31, that lead was 6.5%.
Despite Oz’s gains, Pennsylvania voters still expect the lieutenant governor to claim the Senate seat by a 55% to 45% margin, per the survey. The winner will replace retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, who took office after winning election in 2016, but declined to seek reelection.
The survey also asked about Fetterman’s recent stroke and Oz’s longtime residence in New Jersey.
While 59% of voters said the Democrat’s health scare would not affect their vote, 27% said it made them less likely to back him, while 14% said they were more likely to support the lieutenant governor.
Of Oz’s residence, 47% said it did not matter, while 39% said it made them less likely to back him, and 14% said it made them more likely to support the Republican.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
