Two percent said they would not vote for either Oz or Fetterman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">The pollster sampled 1,400 likely voters over landlines, cell phones, and SMS-to-web from October 4-12 with a 4.4 margin of error.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">Fetterman\u2019s lead has shrunk from June, when the\u00a0AARP survey found the Democrat was leading by six. The election is in 21 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">\u201cThe good news for Fetterman is he\u2019s still ahead,\u201d pollster John Anzalone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/10\/18\/oz-fetterman-pennsylvania-senate-00062330\">told<\/a> <em>Politico.\u00a0<\/em>\u201cBut I would also say that it\u2019s not only good to be ahead, it\u2019s good to be ahead with an opponent who still has a net-unfavorable in terms of how people perceive him. And that goes a long way in the last three weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">Tony Fabrizio, a second pollster for AARP, said the poll favors Oz when the generic ballot is taken into consideration. He said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">When you look at the undecideds in the Senate race, they want to vote Republican in the generic ballot. They are net positive towards Trump\u2019s job approval, and they are net negative towards Biden\u2019s job approval.\u00a0 They\u2019re more interested in economic issues than they are in social issues. So those things hold some glimmer of hope for, obviously, Oz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">Democrats lead Republicans on the generic ballot by two points (47-45 percent). In June, Republicans lead by the same percentage (47-45 percent).<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">Forty-seven percent approved of Trump, while 51 percent disapproved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">Only 43 percent of respondents approved of President Joe Biden. Fifty-five percent disapproved. In June, 36 percent approved of Biden, and 61 percent disapproved. Oz\u2019s polling has notably improved despite Biden\u2019s approval rating, a bellwether for midterm races.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text__paragraph\">Oz has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/midterm-election\/2022\/10\/17\/underdogs-republicans-continue-gaining-momentum-senate-races-despite-democrats-outspending-them\/\">outspent<\/a> by Fetterman by $5 million, according to third quarter fundraising totals.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Wendell Huseb\u00f8 on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WendellHusebo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0@WendellHuseb\u00f8.
