New poll shows Oz, Mastriano within striking distance of Fetterman, Shapiro
PennLive, Aug 22, 2022

A new poll has brought some good news for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz and governor candidate Doug Mastriano.

The poll by the Atlanta-based Trafalgar Group surveyed nearly 1,100 likely Pennsylvania voters and found that Oz only trails Democratic opponent John Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor, 48.4 percent to 43.5 percent.

Trafalgar’s poll had a margin of error of plus/minus 2.9 percentage points.

While still having to make up ground, the poll results will likely give the Oz campaign a much-needed morale boost after previous polls had him trailing considerably further behind.

Most recently, a Fox News poll released July 28 had Fetterman up 11 points and a Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll earlier this summer had Fetterman up 9 points.

Trafalgar’s poll showed Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro leading Mastriano 48.6 percent to 44.7 percent. This comes after Fox News had Shapiro up 50 percent to 40 percent and Suffolk/USA TODAY had Shapiro leading by 4 points

Fetterman is one stroke over the line.  He looks sick and dead on his feet.  His best chance to win is go all Biden and start hide'n.

Fetterman is barely above Biden when it comes to cognitive health. He pulled a gun on an innocent black man. He has no work experience whatsoever. He may be a drug abuser.

‘Abuse of Your Mayoral Authority’: Fetterman Allegedly Ordered Cop To Dig Up Dirt on Political Rival

As mayor of Braddock, Pa., Senate hopeful John Fetterman (D.) ordered a police officer to dig up dirt on one of his political rivals, according to a town solicitor whom Fetterman later fired.

In a heated 2009 mayoral campaign, Braddock solicitor Lawrence Shields accused Fetterman of "abuse of your mayoral authority" for ordering a Braddock cop to obtain a police report from a 2004 domestic incident involving Fetterman’s challenger, Jayme Cox. Braddock city council members called for Fetterman’s arrest for violating state laws regarding the handling of criminal information in cases where charges are dropped.

Three years later, Fetterman cast the tie-breaking vote—his only vote in 13 years as Braddock mayor—to fire Shields as solicitor, purportedly to save money in the borough’s budget. ...

In 2013, Fetterman pulled a shotgun on an unarmed black jogger he wrongly suspected of firing a gun near his house. The jogger, Christopher Miyares, said Fetterman aimed a shotgun at his chest. Fetterman admitted in a television interview that he "may have broken the law," but he has refused to apologize for the incident. ...
