Pennsylvania Republicans increasingly view Democratic Sen. John Fetterman more favorably than Republican Sen. Dave McCormick, according to a new poll. Multiple outlets report that Fetterman is favored in Republican circles in the state, with results described as a shift in his standing compared with McCormick.
The polling described across sources comes from a collaboration between The New York Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Siena University, using responses from registered voters in Pennsylvania. The reporting characterizes Fetterman as a centrist Democrat who has drawn some support beyond his party, while he is also described as criticizing aspects of his own party’s direction. McCormick is presented in the coverage as the GOP counterpart whose favorability among Republicans is lower than Fetterman’s.
Across the articles, the shared focus is comparative favorability between the two senators among Pennsylvania Republicans, with all sources pointing to the same direction of change.
