Mediaite reports:
An apparently fake poll showing Pennsylvania GOP Senate nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz and Democratic Senate nominee Lt. Gov. John Fetterman neck and neck duped Breitbart News.
“Fetterman has led Oz in most polls, often by double digits. However, the race may be tightening,” wrote Breitbart senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak in a hopeful Sunday article. “One poll, by former Republican internal pollster Carleton Polling, suggests that Fetterman is less than one point ahead.”
The Twitter account only joined Twitter on Saturday, when it released the apparently fake poll. It has no website where the supposed polls, or any information about its work from 2020, are available. Many of its tweets look like trolls of the Republican Party.
