Latest Polls, Odds One Week Out From 2022 Midterms

Mehmet Oz takes narrow lead over Democrat John Fetterman - With one just one week left until the Midterms, GOP candidate Mehmet Oz has taken his first lead in the Pennsylvania Senate race.

A survey conducted by Wick that polled 1,000 Pennsylvania voters found Oz leading Fetterman by almost 2 percent. 

A right-leaning polling firm surveying 1,716 likely voters, co/efficient, shows Oz leading Fetterman by 3 percent, 48-percent to 45.

These results follow what was widely viewed as a disasterous debate performance by Fetterman.

Fetterman’s allies made it clear ahead of the debate that the PA lieutenant governor might pause occasionally due to the closed-captioning process, which has a delay.  Fetterman required the device due to a stroke suffered in early summer.  The Pennsylvania lieutenant governor still has difficulties communicating as a result.

BetOnline promptly updated its midterm odds by the next morning. Oz was a -130 favorite yesterday, and now he's a whopping -250 favorite.

Voters overall opinion of Oz remains less positive than Fetterman's.  37 percent of respondents have a favorable view of Oz while 46 percent have an unfavorable opinion.

Ohio Senate Race

A Marist College poll and a Spectrum News/Siena College poll showed both candidates for Ohio Senate at 47% and 46%, respectively.  Democrat Tim Ryan is a 4-1 underdog paying $40 for every $10 bet should he win this midterm.  Vance is the -700 favorite.

Georgia Senate Race

A new InsiderAdvantage/FOX 5 Poll shows Republican candidate for Georgia Senate Republican Herschel Walker up 48% over Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock with 45%.

A new Landmark Communications poll shows a dead heat between the two candidates.  It should be noted that there will be a runoff if either candidate fails to cross over the 50% mark.  There are two other candidates on the ticket.

Early voting, which traditionally favors Democrats, is so far at a record high for a midterm election in Georgia.

BetOnline has Walker as a -200 favorite.
