Dr. Mehmet Oz, who earned former President Donald Trump’s primary-race endorsement in April, is going down in flames according to a new GOP poll.
Republican-affiliated Public Opinion Strategies reports that surgeon-turned-TV-host Dr. Oz trails Democrat John Fetterman by nearly 20 points. Trump gave Oz his “complete and total endorsement” before the wide-open GOP primary of six candidates, a move that probably sealed the deal with Pennsylvania Republicans.
The doc won in a squeaker, barely beating out second-place finisher David McCormick, 31.2% to 31.1%.
The former president praised Oz’s positions on abortion, crime, the Second Amendment, border security, the military, education, energy independence

First, it’s August 18. Second, I have been interested in politics all my life and was elected to my state legislature while a college student, and two of my brothers held elective office, so I know from which I speak. Finally, these polls are BS alone because of the shift in the Hispanic vote toward conservatives, the pollsters can’t figure that out or factor it in. If we can’t beat an avowed socialist in PA (Fetterman) with Dr. Oz, we should quit. “Polls” in FL have Marco Rubio -4 vs. Nancy Pelosi handmaiden Val Demings - which is total BS. We will win the Senate, we will be +50 seats in the House.

Let's not write off Dr. Oz right away.
Fensternman or whatever he is sure makes Sleepy Creepy Crooked President Uncle Joe sound cogent and on point. Campaigning looking like some over-the-hill rocker isn't going to endear him to the undecided or uncommitted voters of Penna.
Plus, assuming that Trust Fund Baby Fensterman (he does look like Uncle Fenster from the Addams Family) takes the bait and debates Dr. Oz, he may look pretty rotten by comparison.
Vance is taking the lead in Ohio. There's talk gas prices will spike again this fall and food and shelter isn't getting any cheaper. Plus, if the deep state demons do any other crazy stuff (indict/arrrest Trump), all bets are off. Lizzie Cheney's loss in Wyoming could be the definition of a "close race."

Fetterman was in Erie on Monday, and sounded impaired from his stroke. If Oz can't step up his campaign, we could wind up with a chronically impaired senator, who is an extreme leftist.
Oz should not fall for the campaign advice to sound like a regular guy. He is not. He is a brilliant heart surgeon with a ton of TV experience.
He should act natural.

So who was the alternative? The crazy black lady with the ridiculous wigs? The Bushie, McConnell endorsed hedge fund guy? Don’t we have enough of that type of Republican Congress now? Oz is doing all the right things visiting the whole state. Remember most polls are only to repress Republican turnout. Uncle Fester ain’t one it yet!

I dislike OZ, but I'll definitely hold my nose and vote for him over Fetterman, who comes across to me like a blending of Uncle Fester and Joe Biden Jr. Oz reminds me horribly of Bill Nye the Science guy - the actor who pretends he's got a degree and smarts.
So long as Oz backs Trump, I'll manage.

Remember, too, that the GOPe pulled big bucks from Oz's campaign.

It's unprofessional and stupid to make these kind of end of the world predictions based on polling this early in the election cycle. What is the author's background and experience? I never heard of this guy. He does appear to be a rather negative person who likes to criticize Trump.

This was going to be a difficult win no matter who runs. I say Oz stands a good chance and will win. He's running against a terrible Democrat who is not even campaigning. Also, Oz won his primary against the boring Neocon that the RNC was pushing to win. It's the boring Neocon who would not have stood a chance at winning. Oz is not what the RNC establishment wants in the race but I think that actually helps him in this race. It's going to take an outsider to even have a chance at winning this race and that outsider is Oz.

Whether you like Doc Oz or not he is a self made man. Uncle Fester lived in his parents basement until he was 50. A lot of people dismissed PT as just a tv personality. Looking forward to their debates.

I dont trust Oz because he is a Turk. I lived among them for a couple years as a teen. They are your best friend in the world as long as you can do things for them. The minute you cant or dont, the knives come out.
Trump's biggest flaw is that he picks the wrong people, seemingly most of the time. I try to keep that in mind.

A totally fake poll designed to demotivate voters and believe it's all over for Oz. This is typical psyop psychological warfare pre-election poll playbook stuff the demonrats have been running for years. How many polls in the days before the election had Hillary winning by a huge landslide? This is more of the same. The lid is off their garbage can.

Uncle Festerman isn't going anywhere. Judging by the lunatic actions of a certain percentage of the leftist mob in the past few years, there will be some people who love a marijuana-pushing, basement-dwelling oddball who wears a hoodie but I would bet he will not win anything except a Kewpie Doll at a carnival on a lucky dart toss.

Folks... pay no attention to these polls... OZ is going to play well among suburban women and is campaigning hard, has Trump's endorsement and Trump will come in an campaign for him, maybe a few times. He is running against an ultraliberal freak of a man whose sick and not campaigning... you do know, it's the middle of August, the time when all the fake "look at the amazing run the dems are making" polls that happen every election cycle 75 days out! To think that Oz is out 20 is just fool hardy... in the face of 8% inflation, gas at 4 buck a gallon... and 78,000 IRS agents coming to knock on your door courtesy of demon socialists. Ignore these polls saying the demons are leading... they are not and they are going to get whipped bad... Oz will win this seat by 5... relax, and republicans, stay mad (not gullible)

It's mid-August. Half the Philly area is at the Jersey Shore and not really paying attention. It's recess time from all the energy focused and spent during primaries. Time to run at a catch-your-breath pace and kick it up a few notches after Labor Day. Don't hold back the hard campaigning until late October because if PA, or other states have (I hate) early voting, those decisions can't be undone by changing voters minds in the last week or two. That's when you rally the 'base' which tends to vote once on election day.

I love the reaction...any negative news or opinion is to be disregarded. The other day I posted a NYT article that merely reported OZ and others were losing their TV commercial reservations by the National Republican Senate Committee. OZ had $5 million taken. The first reply said it was from the NYT and therefore unreliable propaganda. Well, the fact is that pullback is fact.
Polls that support conservative positions are trumpeted...the others are all ginned up baloney, propaganda. That may be, but it takes a moment or two to digest.
Nobody wants bad news. But OZ was a bad choice to endorse for a number of reasons. Yes, it is an eternity to November...but short of Fetterman stroking out, even a 10 point lead is tough for this TV star to overcome. At the moment, I don't see it.

The Senate is the deep state's failsafe. Republicans can have a 10 seat lead in the Senate, and it won't matter if they are full of RINOs.

First, let's make sure every Republican is fully behind every Republican candidate with support and money.
Second, the GOP needs to make effort to sway the Independents and illustrate how radical the Progressive really are, and they ARE the Democrat party today.
Lastly, while some may be Conservative, not every Republican or Independent will be too, which is fine. We simply need people who end up WINNING to have the Majority in the Senate (look what Democrats did with 50/50 and the tie-breaker).
And, if Republicans have the Senate they can stop the radical judges the Biden administration will install across the country.
Reagan said, if you agree with me 80% of the time, you are my friend. Do you think Democrat agree even 5% of the time with any of the GOP agenda?

If people are dumb enough to vote for Fetterman, who is sounding a bit like Joe in his appearances, that is not Donald Trump's fault.

"Yeah, Trump's Dr. Oz Endorsement Probably Cost Us the Senate" - kind of a caustic header for this article and I don't appreciate the sentiment, at all.- the election has yet to be held so, keep your crusty and defamatory remarks about our President to yourself, whoever wrote that pig sty header.

I join most of MAGA in having excellent reasons to not trust what Oz says NOW far as I can throw him.
However, he is the candidate we are stuck with and we must try to drag him across the finish line.
Fetterman terrible but we have seen many a poor candidate or weak incumbent barely campaign, barely debate and people vote them in anyway.
This author just another one with his demoralizing headline that is not going to work. We MAGA conservatives are determined and focused to wrest control of that PA Senate seat for Republicans because Prez Trump will need all the help he can get !!

Oz may be a poor choice, the alternative was a china friendly hedge fund trust fund Mitt Romney type.
The RNC wants what it wants. I want what I want, They can sleep on the couch for a change.
