In Pennsylvania, where Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is in a heated matchup against GOP nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz in the battle for the state's open Senate seat, a new poll suggests that voters prefer the Democratic candidate on critical issues, despite the majority of respondents having an unfavorable opinion of Democrat President Joe Biden.

A new Monmouth University survey among voters in Pennsylvania found that despite Biden's underwater approval rating, the majority of voters trust Fetterman over Oz to best handle every issue of top concern, including abortion, the economy, crime and immigration. "The economy is an issue that has generally helped Republicans in national polling, but Oz has not been able to capitalize on it," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

Just 36% of respondents said they trusted Oz best on jobs, the economy and cost-of-living issues, compared to 45% who said the same of Fetterman.The poll showed an increase in the share who trusted Fetterman on the economy from 41% in Monmouth's September poll, while the percent who trusted Oz more remained steady.
