The special election for an Arizona House seat is in a statistical dead heat in the final week of the race, according to a poll released on Monday.
A poll from Emerson College found physician Hiral Tipirneni (D) narrowly leading with 46 percent, compared to former state Sen. Debbie Lesko (R), who is at 45 percent — well within the poll’s margin of error.
Monday’s poll is an outlier and a huge swing in the direction toward Democrats, with other recent polling showing Lesko winning by double-digit margins. The latest public poll on Friday from OH Predictive Insights and ABC 15 Arizona found Lesko leading by 10 points, 53 to 43 percent.
Arizona’s special election has captivated national attention, with Republican groups pouring more resources into a district that President Trump won by 21 points in 2016. The winner of the April 24 race will replace former Rep. Trent Franks (R), who resigned after reportedly discussing paying a staffer to act as a surrogate mother.
Any update on AZ early voting?
*AZ Outlier poll ping*
B) The poll is from the leftist propaganda mill Emerson College.
As a former Arizonan, I think I can safely say "Calm down..."
Push poll. Vote, vote, vote ..
Its a huge outlier
While Lesko was not inspirational for me, she will do.
She will win by 6 1/2% is my prediction. The communists are energized.
“Captivated national attention?” First I’ve heard of it.
Yipee, another special election! The libs are truly a desperate bunch for any win. If it were the GOP, it would be perceived as pathetic. The irony is that the GOP is not doing much work to help other Republicans.
I think a lot of Arizonans vote by mail, so a lot of votes are banked already. Unless the Republican loses by a jaw droppingly large margin on election day, I can’t believe any poll is going to matter now.
Trent Franks never should have stepped down. He did absolutely nothing wrong
She better!
Seems to be said every time and then oops we lose. Quite the broken record you got going on.
That came out...
Yes, I know. I really thought Trump was going to win too......
Has John McPain endorsed the Democrat yet?
A dead heat. In the desert.
Badoom tish.
Not bad...but work on it
Yes, we do vote by mail. Sent my ballot over a week ago.
Just heard on local news he had some surgery for diverticulitis??? Also stated he is recovering from cancer treatments. How long does one recover from cancer treatments?????
