Fetterman more popular with Republicans than Democrats, poll shows

(WHTM) — For some Republicans, he’s not Republican enough. For many Democrats, he’s definitely not Democrat enough.

A new poll shows U.S. Senator John Fetterman gets higher approval numbers among Republicans than he does among Democrats. It’s unheard of for a statewide candidate, said pollster Jim Lee, who crunched the numbers.

“He’s actually said he doesn’t want to be called a progressive anymore,” Lee said. “But in a Democratic primary in 2028, with numbers like this among his base supporters, you have to be concerned that Fetterman isn’t electable, if these numbers hold with Democratic voters.”

The poll showed 45% of Republicans approve of Fetterman while just 40% of Democrats approve of him. Overall, he had a 41% approval rating in the state, compared to 37% who disapprove of him.

The first-term senator hasn’t just broke from his party in recent days, he’s criticized it on issues such as the border and Israel. Fetterman’s also said he supports a number of President Donald Trump’s policies.

To many progressives, he isn’t the guy they elected.

Of course, he still has three years to turn his numbers around. Fetterman’s not up for reelection until 2028.
