CBS News Battleground Tracker poll: Pennsylvania Senate contest narrows [View all]
The party bases are consolidating around their candidates in the Pennsylvania Senate race, now a toss-up contest with Lt. Gov. John Fetterman ahead by two points heading into their debate Tuesday night. He led by five points a month ago.
To the extent there is attitudinal change, it's partly driven by more Republicans "coming home" toward Dr. Mehmet Oz: the percentage of Republicans saying they'd vote for their nominee is up to 94% from 87% last month.
In Tuesday night's debate, the economy, gas prices, crime and abortion are among top issues people want to hear about — and most don't think it is important to hear about Fetterman's health or Oz's residency.
Last month, voters said a debate was somewhat important — especially Republicans — and today voters are somewhat likely to watch it. Thirty percent of voters overall say they're very likely to tune in. (Perhaps this will rise even higher once Pennsylvanians, at least in the Philadelphia area, remember that the World Series doesn't start until Friday.) And they want to hear about the economy, police and crime, gas prices and abortion.
