Dr. Oz Trailing Fetterman In PA Senate Race: CBS
A new poll indicates that Pennsylvania lieutenant governor John Fetterman has a narrow lead over celebrity physician Mehmet Oz.
PENNSYLVANIA — Lieutenant Gov. John Fetterman leads celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz in the race to succeed retiring Senator Pat Toomey, according to CBS News. A recent CBS poll had Fetterman ahead of Oz among survey respondents, 52 to 47 percent.
Two-thirds of those polled do not believe Oz has lived in Pennsylvania long enough to represent it in the Senate. Oz has been mocked for moving to the state last year with allegations the move was only so he could run for Toomey's seat.
Most respondents who are backing Oz said they are doing so not because they like him, but because they dislike Fetterman.
