00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:04.334
John Fetterman's lead is now to six points over Doctor Mehmet Oz.

00:00:04.334 --> 00:00:08.261
That race is where we get started today with correspondent Brian

00:00:08.261 --> 00:00:12.545
Yennis. Hi Brian. Hi Martha. Well, the last poll you mentioned Martha

00:00:12.545 --> 00:00:17.186
is the USA TODAY Suffolk University poll. Not only does it show a

00:00:17.186 --> 00:00:21.470
narrowing of John Fetterman's lead from 9 to 6 points over Doctor

00:00:21.470 --> 00:00:26.111
Mehmet Oz, but it also shows the number of voters who view Fetterman

00:00:26.111 --> 00:00:29.681
unfavorably has skyrocketed almost 17 points since June. Now this

00:00:29.681 --> 00:00:33.840
jives. With our Fox News polling, which shows Federmann's lead has

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.894
dropped from 11 points in July to four points now, it's not just the

00:00:38.894 --> 00:00:42.865
polling that is tightening. It seems the fundraising gap is narrowing

00:00:42.865 --> 00:00:47.558
too. Doctor Oz raised $17.2 million in the third quarter from July to

00:00:47.558 --> 00:00:51.529
September. That includes $7 million of his own money, but still,

00:00:51.529 --> 00:00:55.500
that's significantly higher than the 5.5 million Oz raised in the

00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:59.471
second quarter. The numbers suggest the relentless attack ads from Oz

00:00:59.471 --> 00:01:04.230
against Federman. As being soft on crime may be working, the campaign

00:01:04.230 --> 00:01:08.553
released this new ad today attacking Fetterman for saying he will

00:01:08.553 --> 00:01:12.483
decriminalize all drugs. Fetterman's Camp says he no longer supports

00:01:12.483 --> 00:01:16.020
that Pennsylvania's police unions continue to back doctor Oz.

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:21.260
They endorsed me because they don't feel supported right now by their

00:01:21.260 --> 00:01:24.660
Lieutenant governor and they're concerned that if they're gonna run

00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:28.400
towards the danger, they're and they're at risk for being criticized

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:33.160
for doing it, undermined in their efforts to do it, and the laws keep

00:01:33.160 --> 00:01:37.240
changing so they don't feel protected when they do risk their lives.

00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:40.980
Meanwhile, the Federman camp continues to hammer doctor Oz on his

00:01:40.980 --> 00:01:45.060
authenticity. This ad compares Dr Oz to quack Dr. Nick from The

00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:48.120
Simpsons, mocking Oz as a TV doctor scam artist.

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.602
Who isn't from Pennsylvania? This has been a very negative and

00:01:51.602 --> 00:01:54.924
personal race. The first and only debate scheduled about the actual

00:01:54.924 --> 00:01:58.850
issues is exactly 3 weeks from today on October 25th. That's gonna be

00:01:58.850 --> 00:02:02.172
a big night, Brian. Thank you very much. Great to have.
