The first post-debate poll in the hotly contested Pennsylvania Senate race shows Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz ahead of John Fetterman by nearly 3 percentage points.surveyed 750 likely voters in the Keystone State one day after Oz, a former heart surgeon, debated the state’s Democratic lieutenant governor, Fetterman, who is recovering from a stroke he suffered in May.
Oz took a 47.5% to 44.8% lead over Fetterman in the new poll, which has a margin of error of 3.58 percentage points. The same poll showed Fetterman and Oz tied last week. Democratic pollster Tom Bonier discredited the poll in a Twitter post on Thursday, noting that he believes it undersamples younger voters and oversamples the heavily GOP demographic of people between the ages 40 and 64.“Well, this is the first poll of the cycle that actually made me laugh out loud. The likely voter sample has voters under the age of 40 at 14%. They were 25% of the electorate in ’18 and 28% in ’20. This poll should be entirely ignored,” Bonier argued.
