Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania) is so unpopular that he would lose his hypothetical re-election by nearly 20 points to a generic \u201csomeone else\u201d choice if the election were held today, new polling finds.<\/p>\n

PennLive<\/em>\/Bravo Group polling released Wednesday asked a group of Pennsylvania voters who they would vote for between Fetterman and \u201csomeone else.\u201d Fifty-eight percent of respondents said that they would vote for \u201csomeone else,\u201d while only 40 percent said that they would vote for Fetterman \u2014 an 18-point margin.<\/p>\n

Many voters felt strongly about the choice. Thirty percent said that they would \u201cdefinitely\u201d vote for someone else, versus only 12 percent who said they\u2019d \u201cdefinitely\u201d choose Fetterman. Another 29 percent said \u201cprobably someone else,\u201d while 28 percent said \u201cprobably\u201d Fetterman.<\/p>\n

Fetterman\u2019s approval ratings are also in the red, with 47 percent disapproving of him, compared to 45 percent who back the senator, the polling found.<\/p>\n

Fetterman is not up for reelection until 2028, and has previously refused to answer questions as to whether he is planning to run again.<\/p>\n

Previous polling has found that Democrats in particular are unhappy with Fetterman. Quinnipiac University found earlier this month that 57 percent of Democrats want Fetterman to leave the party.<\/p>\n

The senator is evidently being courted by Republicans to change his affiliation. He recently floated the idea that he may leave the Democratic Party, saying earlier this month that ending aid to Israel and \u201cofficially\u201d becoming the \u201canti-Israel party\u201d is a \u201cred line for me.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s our special ally, you know?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Fetterman has faced harsh criticism for his staunch support of Israel through its genocide in Gaza and violence in Lebanon and the occupied West Bank. In fact, while in office, Fetterman has largely turned his back on the left-leaning principles that he ran on in 2022, and has instead made his backing of Israel a central tenet of his brand.<\/p>\n

Israeli officials have touted Fetterman as a top ally in the U.S. The Israeli Prime Minister\u2019s X account said on Thursday that Fetterman met with Benjamin Netanyahu amid his visit to the U.S. this week. In a video posted by the office, Netanyahu told Fetterman that he is a \u201cstellar patriot\u201d and that Israel is \u201cproud to have you as our friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fetterman responded that \u201cit was a supreme honor of my time\u201d to stand with Israel, which he called a \u201cmiracle.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s been disappointing, as a Democratic politician, how our party continues to behave,\u201d he went on, referring to Democrats\u2019 increasingly fraught relationship with Israel. He also took a jab at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for his \u201cridiculous claims\u201d about Netanyahu.<\/p>\n

Fetterman has also embraced numerous pro-war stances. Multiple times throughout President Donald Trump\u2019s war on Iran, Fetterman has also been the lone Democrat to vote against Senate resolutions attempting to rein the war in \u2014 a few times casting the deciding vote.<\/p>\n

And, in April, Fetterman joined the GOP in sinking a Democratic motion to bar Trump from waging war on Cuba amid a humanitarian crisis caused by U.S. sanctions and Trump\u2019s oil blockade of the island nation.<\/p>\n
