Republican congressional candidate in Pennsylvania Dr. Mehmet Oz is making gains in the final weeks of his contentious Senate race, now polling inside the margin of error against Democratic opponent John Fetterman, Politico reported Tuesday, per a new AARP Pennsylvania poll.

The poll shows Fetterman with support from 48 percent of likely voters and Oz with support from 46, "effectively tying the two" since the results fall within the survey's margin of error, The Hill writes. It's also a "shift in Oz's direction since June, when Fetterman, the state's lieutenant governor, was leading by 6 percentage points in the AARP survey," Politico adds.
