That&#8217;s a sharp flip from 2024, when three-quarters of Democrats liked him and nearly two-thirds of Republicans did not. Also of note: Republicans in the state now view him more favorably than GOP Sen. David McCormick, who has a 63% approval rating.&#13;\n                                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"storyParagraph\">&#13;<br \/>\n                                        Fetterman&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newser.com\/story\/392981\/fetterman-sounds-warning-to-dems-about-jumping-to-gop.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sharp criticism of Democrats<\/a> and strong backing of Israel\u2014plus perceived openness to President Trump\u2014are driving the shift, with nearly 60% of Democrats saying he&#8217;s been too supportive of Trump and nearly half saying he&#8217;s too pro-Israel. Independents remain slightly positive on Fetterman, whose every move is being watched as a potential future Senate swing vote. Fetterman would be up for reelection in 2028.&#13;\n                                    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; John Fetterman is now getting better marks from Pennsylvania Republicans than from Democrats, a new poll finds.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":272468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2258,4283,13070,28,30,29,13204,5019,4519],"class_list":["post-272467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-democrats","tag-john-fetterman","tag-new-york-times","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news","tag-poll","tag-republicans","tag-senate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
