A small sample of voters who said they were undecided broke heavily for Oz over Fetterman\u201464.4 percent to 35.6 percent\u2014when pressed to choose either the Democrat or Republican.<\/p>\n<p>The poll, conducted by text message and landline, is the first indicator that Fetterman\u2019s shaky debate performance on Tuesday hurt his chances in November. Fetterman narrowly led most polls conducted before the debate, though his lead has closed dramatically since the summer amid a flurry of Republican attacks on his record on criminal justice reform.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in May, fumbled repeatedly during Tuesday\u2019s debate, the only one held in the Senate contest. He gave incoherent answers on the wealth tax and his position on fracking. He also repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/fetterman-refuses-to-release-medical-records-in-rambling-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declined<\/a> to release his medical records, saying he was being transparent by &#8220;showing up&#8221; for the debate.<\/p>\n<p>Some Democrats expressed alarm over Fetterman\u2019s performance. Sen. Chris Coons (D., Del.) said Fetterman\u2019s performance was &#8220;hard to watch,&#8221; though he expressed confidence the Democrat will pull out a victory next month. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) was <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/schumer-fettermans-dismal-debate-performance-didnt-hurt-us-too-much\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caught<\/a> on a hot mic on Thursday telling President Joe Biden that Fetterman\u2019s debate &#8220;didn\u2019t hurt us too much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Slightly more Biden voters than Trump voters took part in the Wick Insights survey, in line with the results from 2020. According to the poll, 42 percent of voters said that economic issues\u2014the cost of living and jobs\u2014were the most important factor in their vote. Roughly 32 percent listed &#8220;threats to democracy&#8221; as the issue motivating their decision. Just 10.2 percent said abortion was the most important issue, while 6.7 percent said the same of immigration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Mehmet Oz has pulled ahead of John Fetterman in the first Pennsylvania Senate poll released after this week\u2019s highly anticipated debate.<br \/>\nThe post Fetterman Fades in Post-Debate Poll appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":155,"featured_media":1713825,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1715124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1715124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/155"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1715124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1715124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1713825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1715124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1715124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1715124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
