一项新的民意调查显示，在9月份以线上方式出席共和党中期选举大会后，参议员约翰·费特曼（民主党，宾夕法尼亚州）在宾夕法尼亚州共和党人中的受欢迎程度高于民主党人。
A new poll found Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) is more popular among Pennsylvania Republicans over Democrats following his virtual appearance at the GOP’s midterm convention in September.
昆尼皮亚克大学于周三公布的这项民意调查显示，72%的宾夕法尼亚州共和党人对费特曼持正面看法，19%的人对该参议员持负面看法，另有7%的人表示对他的了解还不够。
The Quinnipiac University poll, released Wednesday, found 72 percent of Pennsylvania Republicans held a favorable opinion on Fetterman, 19 percent viewed the senator negatively and 7 percent said they had not heard enough about him.
在该州的民主党人中，仅有13%的人对他持正面看法，而69%的人持负面看法，15%的人则表示对他的了解还不够。27%的独立选民对费特曼持正面看法，49%持负面看法，23%的人对他的了解还不够。
Among the state’s Democrats, only 13 percent have a favorable opinion on him, while 69 percent do not have a favorable opinion and 15 percent have not heard enough about him. Twenty-seven percent of independents held a favorable opinion of Fetterman, 49 percent had an unfavorable opinion and 23 percent had not heard enough about him.
尽管“基石之州”宾夕法尼亚州90%的投票都与民主党阵营一致，但费特曼在几项备受关注的投票中与其党派分道扬镳——包括协助共和党人阻止参议院通过一项关于战争权力的决议。这些偏离党派立场的行为，加上他出席中期选举大会的举动，使许多人开始质疑费特曼对党的忠诚度。
Though the Keystone state has voted with the Democratic caucus 90 percent of the time, he split from his party on several high-profile votes — including helping Republicans block a Senate war powers resolution. These departures, along with his midterm convention appearance, have caused many to question Fetterman’s party loyalty.
费特曼还曾与共和党议员一同投票反对切断对以色列的援助，甚至此前在“国会山国家峰会”上表示，如果民主党完全背弃以色列，他将离开该党。尽管他反复强调自己“不会成为共和党人”，但即使是共和党参议员戴夫·麦科米克（宾夕法尼亚州）在宾夕法尼亚州共和党人中的受欢迎程度也明显低于费特曼：周三的民意调查显示，67%的人对麦科米克持正面看法，13%持负面看法，20%的人对他的了解还不够。
Fetterman also voted with GOP lawmakers against cutting off aid to Israel, even saying previously at the Hill Nation Summit he would leave the Democratic Party if it turned its back on the country entirely. Though he has repeatedly asserted he will not “be a Republican.”Even GOP Sen. Dave McCormick (Penn.) is notably less popular among Pennsylvanian Republicans compared to Fetterman, as 67 percent felt favorably about McCormick in Wednesday’s poll, 13 percent do not have a favorable opinion and 20 percent did not know enough about him.
在所有接受调查的宾夕法尼亚州潜在选民中，37%的人表示对费特曼持正面看法，46%持负面看法，15%的人对他的了解还不够。
Out of all likely Pennsylvania voters surveyed, 37 percent reported holding favorable opinions of Fetterman, while 46 percent had an unfavorable view and 15 percent haven’t heard enough about him.
他在国会中的民主党同僚们同样对费特曼感到不满，此前他在中期选举大会的视频发言中介绍了麦科米克，并称其为“一位伟大的朋友”。
His Democratic colleagues in Congress similarly grew frustrated with Fetterman following his midterm convention video appearance, in which he introduced McCormick and described him as a “great friend.”
视频发布后，费特曼在一份声明中表示，他将继续与民主党人组成党团，并写道：“我是一名终身的民主党人，投票时绝大多数都支持我的政党——如果参议院在11月易主，我仍然会是那个我竞选时所承诺的第51张选票。”他的席位要到2028年才会面临重新选举，而当记者问及他与该政党的未来时，他多次要求记者“耐心等到”中期选举。
Fetterman said in a statement after the video’s release that he would continue to caucus with Democrats, writing, “I’m a lifelong Democrat who votes overwhelmingly with my party — and should the Senate flip in November, I will still be the 51st vote that I ran on.”His seat is not up for reelection until 2028, and he has repeatedly asked reporters to “just wait” until the midterms when asked about his future with the party.
“如果我转而支持共和党，那我就是一个骗子……我的名字根本不在选票上。别紧张了，”费特曼在9月中旬说道。
“And if I turn a Republican, then I’ll be a liar … My name is not on the ballot. Chill,” Fetterman said in mid-September.
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（共和党，南达科他州）以及多位其他共和党参议员表示，他们欢迎费特曼加入共和党。
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and a number of other Republican senators have stated they would welcome Fetterman to the GOP.
该民意调查于10月1日至5日在宾夕法尼亚州的1159名潜在选民中进行。误差幅度为3.9个百分点。
The poll was conducted between Oct. 1–5 among 1,159 likely voters in Pennsylvania. The margin of error is 3.9 percentage points.
