The Pennsylvania Capital-Star reports:
A new Franklin & Marshall College poll shows Democrats Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman with double-digit leads over their Republican rivals, even as President Joe Biden’s approval ratings remain underwater with voters in a key 2022 battleground state.
In the state’s nationally watched U.S. Senate race, Fetterman, the current lieutenant governor, leads Republican Mehmet Oz, a celebrity physician, 43 percent to 30 percent.
Meanwhile, Shapiro, the two-term state attorney general, leads Republican Doug Mastriano, a state senator, 44-33 percent, according to the poll. As is the case with Fetterman, Shapiro also leads among independent voters (40-24 percent).

According to FiveThirtyEight, Franklin & Marshall College polling has an 87% rate of correctly calling races.
As you can see below, a separate poll out today from Emerson College shows the races much closer.
