New F&M Poll, Shapiro, Fetterman ahead

[Deminpenn]

2. This poll breaks down the state by regions

That's always what I find most interesting. Here Shapiro is getting 67% support in the "Allegheny" and "Southwest" regions. Fetterman is getting less, but still 57% is a good number.

The "Southwest" consists of Beaver, Cambria, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Somerset, Washington and Westmoreland". Understanding that the overall results includes Allegheny County/Pittsburgh, it's a good sign since any R who wants a chance at winning really has to roll up margins in the SW outside of Allegheny county. If, as the Pgh Tribune-Review reports in a story today that "early voting" is at record levels in Westmoreland county, the largest of the SW red counties, that could be a good sign for Dems who are more likely to vote that way.
