Fetterman outperforming Biden in key counties, Oz underperforming Trump out West.
It may well come down to Philly and its suburbs where Oz has tried to make a play. He'll need to outperform there.

Luzerne County Council is run by a Republican vast majority (9 Rs to 1 D)…and it’s Republican voters (and potentially candidates) that will be most impacted. Republican voters are more likely to vote in-person than Dems.
Big Election Day mess in Luzerne County, PA. Dozens of polling places ran out of printer paper for ballots. Voters had to be turned away.
Court just ruled to extend polling hours to 10pm - an unprecedented move.

“Doctor Oz loves Oprah and respects the fact that they have different politics. He believes we need more balance and less extremism in Washington.”

But @MonmouthPoll earlier today shows Fetterman at 48%, Oz at 44% and… “Finds that concerns about Fetterman’s health, particularly in light of last week’s televised debate, have been raised by some voters, but the impact on their actual candidate choice has been minimal.” 2/3

A top concern we hear from suburban women in PA is crime. Whether or not their community is actually seeing a rise in violence, they are worried about their family’s safety. The Oz ads seem to be working. In politics, perception matters.
“That group [white suburban women] which the pollsters said makes up 20% of the electorate, shifted 26 percentage points away from Democrats since the Journal’s August poll and now favors the GOP by 15 percentage points.” wsj.com/articles/gop-p…
