Sen. Fetterman more popular with Pa. Republicans than Democrats: poll
One Democratic strategist said there is "virtually no way" Fetterman does not face a primary challenge if run for re-election in 2028.
U.S. Sen. John Fetterman is more popular among Pennsylvania Republicans than fellow Democrats, according to a new poll of state voters.
Susquehanna Polling and Research president James Lee told PennLive Tuesday that Fetterman’s overall approval rating among state voters is a “mediocre” 41%, compared to 37% who disapprove of him.
However, the eyebrow-raising result that 45% of Republicans approve of Fetterman while just 40% of Democrats do will surely get political tongues wagging from Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C.

So he basically hired a very progressive PR team, followed their lead until he got elected, then 180'd on all his views. After that, the progressives he hired started to quit, and he lost the ability to continue to project himself as a progressive.
Here is a pretty good deep dive on the situation.
He was elected while running against Dr. Oz so not like there were good choices.
I've seen this tactic before tho. Like the owner of the 76ers wanted to build a new stadium in Philly, but knew people would protest it because there are already a lot of sports stadiums. So he made a big push to advertise that it would be built like right in the middle of a neighborhood faaaarrrr away from all the other stadiums. Everyone protested THAT and after a few weeks the owner capitulated. He was like "FINE , I'll build my big, expensive, tax break garnering stadium by all the others," which is what he actually wanted from the beginning.
I wouldn't be surprised if Fetterman was supported by Republican interests for a similar purpose.

The arena thing took like 2.5 years start to finish, not a few weeks. Also with how many millions they spent on advertising and paying union guys to sit in city council I'd be shocked if they didn't actually want to build in Chinatown.
