Democrats crushing GOP in Pennsylvania’s key statewide races: poll

Pennsylvania Democrats are crushing GOP candidates in two critical state-wide races, a new poll found.

A Franklin and Marshall poll released Thursday found Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman leading Republican Mehmet Oz by 13 points in the race for an open Senate seat. The same poll showed Democrat Josh Shapiro, the current state attorney general, ahead of Republican Doug Mastriano by 11 points in the race for governor.

The bad news for Republicans follows an Emerson College poll that found Mr. Fetterman with a 4-point lead and Mr. Shapiro with a three-point lead over their respective GOP opponents.
