John Fetterman's Approval Rating Declines in Pennsylvania

Poll Shows Drop in Support Since Taking Office

Absence from Roll Call Votes and Health Concerns Cited as Factors

According to a recent poll by Franklin Marshall College, John Fetterman's approval rating in Pennsylvania has fallen since he took office in January. Fetterman, a Democrat, now has an approval rating of 48%, down from 61% in February.

The poll suggests that Fetterman's absence from roll call votes and ongoing health concerns may be contributing to the decline in his support.
