7. Fox New Poll of 2-6 March has McCormick up

24-15 over Oz with the other better know candidates at 9% or below.

This looks like the latest poll, from Emerson: https://emersonpolling.reportablenews.com/pr/pennsylvania-2022-gop-poll-david-mccormick-leads-primary-for-u-s-senate
With undecideds included, McCormick leads Oz 27-20%.

Hallie Jackson and a reporter for the Phila Inq were discussing the Trump endorsement. The question arose about whether or not Oz actually lives in PA. The Inq reporter said Oz bought a house in the Phila burb and now "lives" there. Sure hope Dems have that house staked out because I'm sure the Oz's don't actually live there.

Dems should make sure to ask Oz about his PA tax return. We have a flat income tax here with almost no deductions. You don't get to deduct investment losses either. If you have a loss, it's reported as 0, not a negative number. You also have to report all your investment income. I know PA and NJ have a reciprocal tax agreement since residents of both states can live in one and work in the other. However, you can be a part-time resident of PA and not pay tax for the days on which you are not in the state. Oz should either be paying income tax in PA or not paying by claiming the days he's not in PA. Either way, it's something Dems should be prepared to attack Oz on his proclaimed residency. Knowing rich people, they'll do whatever they need to to avoid paying income tax. My bet is Oz has not paid any tax to PA. McCormick probably hasn't either.
