Fetterman viewed more favorably than GOP senator by Pennsylvania Republicans: Poll
The poll found 73% of Republicans view John Fetterman favorably, compared with 63% for David McCormick, while only 22% of Democrats back Fetterman.
- A new Inquirer/New York Times/Siena University poll published Tuesday shows two-thirds of likely Pennsylvania Democratic voters believe U.S. Sen. John Fetterman supports President Donald Trump too frequently, with about half viewing him as overly supportive of Israel.
- Fetterman's popularity has shifted dramatically, with 73% of Republicans now viewing him favorably compared to just 22% of Democrats—leaving him more popular among GOP voters than Pennsylvania's own Republican Sen. David McCormick, whom 63% of Republicans view favorably.
- About 67% of likely Democratic voters claim Fetterman supports the president too much, while 57% of Democrats younger than 30 criticize his stance on Israel. Retired salesman Joseph Jaskula said, "I'm so disappointed in him, I can't even see straight."
- Voters like Joseph Cook, an information technology project manager from Villanova University, describe the senator's political shifts as a "bait-and-switch." With 69% of Democrats holding unfavorable opinions, Fetterman could face an uphill battle if he seeks reelection in 2028.
- Despite his frequent critiques of fellow Democrats, Fetterman remains a reliable vote for the party's priorities in the Senate. He has explicitly stated he will "never" switch parties, even as he navigates these sharply divided views among Pennsylvania voters.
