  • Fetterman's overall favorability dropped 11 percentage points since August, falling to 47% unfavorable versus 42% favorable—the first time he's tested underwater in Siena polling.

    “He insists that he's not going to be changing parties. However, a lot of people are afraid of that because of the way he has voted.”
