• With the 2022 midterm elections under two months away, Democratic candidates hold leads in the high profile gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races in Pennsylvania.

• Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the Democratic nominee for Governor, holds a substantial lead over Republican nominee State Senator Doug Mastriano in the race to serve as the Commonwealth’s next chief executive. Including voters who are leaning to one candidate, Shapiro holds a 53 percent to 42 percent lead over Mastriano.

• The race for the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Pat Toomey is closer. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a Democrat, has a 5-point lead on Republican Mehmet Oz, 49 percent to 44 percent. That is within the survey’s margin of error of plus or minus 6 percentage points.
