4:28Now PlayingEvery poll coming out of Pennsylvania right now shows John Fetterman absolutely wiping the floor with Dr. Mehmet Oz, with one poll showing a 13-point gap between the two. Other polls show smaller gaps, but the big piece of news from all the polls is how well Fetterman is doing with Independent voters, where he has DOUBLE the support that Oz has. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this new data.

We are now a little over two months away from November's midterm elections and I gotta say, Dr. Oz is looking worse and worse by the week. According to the latest polls that have come out from the state of Pennsylvania, John Fetterman now holds a 13 point lead over Dr. Oz, which is of course larger than the 11 point lead over Dr. Oz that he had just about two weeks ago. Now the 13 point lead is of course the largest out of any of the polls and just so everybody's aware, that particular poll does have a 5.3% margin of error, which means that's a really bad poll that we shouldn't pay attention to. So even if we throw that poll out, what do all the other ones say? Well, as I mentioned, depending on which poll you're looking at, you've got anywhere from an 11 point lead to maybe as small as a six point lead. Either way, Dr. Oz is getting his kicked and his poll numbers continue to get worse every single week.
You know, there was a, a story in the Daily Beast just a couple days ago that said, is Dr. Oz just really bad at this or does his campaign team genuinely hate him? That was the question posed. And honestly, at this point, it feels like it's a little bit of both because Dr. Oz is running what I consider to be one of the worst campaigns I have ever seen. Like as bad as Herschel Walker is and I know I always go to that as comparison because they're both running right now, Herschel Walker gets up on stage, there's viral clips of him every day, every day that he is on TV or on stage, there's a viral clip of him stringing words together, telling nonsensical stories that make, you can't even follow it with logic, but still he is running a better campaign than what Dr. Oz is up there in Pennsylvania. So here's the kicker. It's not just that Fetterman is beating Oz in every single poll. It's this particular number that people need to pay attention to, independents back Fetterman by a 34% to 17% margin. So Fetterman has twice as many independents supporting him as Dr. Oz does. That's the number that matters. Also Fetterman has a positive approval rating in Pennsylvania while Dr. Oz has a 57% unfavorability rating in Pennsylvania.
So this is a, this is Fetterman's race to lose at this point. Dr. Oz, every time he comes out, every time he tries to attack Fetterman, you know, last week, they made the outrageous claim that if he'd eaten a vegetable once in his life, maybe he wouldn't have had a stroke. You think that helped Dr. Oz's campaign? Absolutely not. It drove more people over to Fetterman because even in politics, that is one of the more disgusting things we have ever seen a candidate make. And by the way, it's not that they tweeted it out. They actually put it in a official release. It was in writing, which means they all had to approve it. They're screwed because they're so bad at this and that is exactly what they deserve. That's why you see people like Sean Hannity freaking out, but trying to pretend that they're not freaking out, which only makes them look even more freaked out. Donald Trump, according to sources is raging against Dr. Oz, talking about what a horrible candidate he is to everybody who's willing to listen. Trump's also mad at Hannity because Hannity not only convinced Oz to run, but convinced Trump to endorse Oz. Lot of anger going around over Dr. Oz and it's because he might be one of the worst candidates we have ever seen.
