Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz is ahead of Democrat Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race, according to a post-debate poll.
Nearly 24 percent of black respondents are backing Oz, and he is outperforming his opponent among the 18-39 and the 40-64 age demographics. Fetterman leads with those who are 65 and older. Additionally, Oz has a substantial lead among independents, garnering 65.9 percent of the response to Fetterman’s 22.5 percent.
The poll was conducted on Wednesday, the day after the pair’s debate in which voters received a sincere glimpse into Fetterman’s communication struggles following his stroke in May. Fetterman used a closed-captioning system to aid with his auditory processing issues and repeatedly had trouble with his words.Of respondents who tuned in, just 20.5 percent believe Fetterman was victorious in Tuesday’s showdown, while 53.6 percent say Oz won. Some 26 percent were undecided.
Insider Advantage also gauged the temperature of the governor’s race, finding that Republican State Sen. Doug Mastriano trails Democrat Attorney General Josh Shapiro by 8.4 percentage points. Of the poll participants, 50.2 percent say they are voting for Shapiro, as opposed to 41.8 percent who back Mastriano. Another 2.8 percent support Libertarian Matt Hackenburg, and 4.1 are undecided.
The Democrat has expanded his lead compared to last week’s survey from the pollster, which had him at 48.5 percent and Mastriano at 42.2 percent. The current poll sampled 750 likely voters on October 26 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.58 percentage points.
