Dr. Kelli Ward may end up pulling off a surprise victory against longtime incumbent Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Tuesday, as new polling from Breitbart News Network and Gravis Marketing shows a razor thin lead for McCain.
Ward, a former state senator who stepped down from that post to focus on the U.S. Senate race, trails McCain with Arizona Republicans by just four points heading into election day. Ward gets 33 percent in the latest Breitbart/Gravis poll compared to McCain’s 37 percent. Twenty-three percent of the likely GOP primary voters are undecided walking into election day.

“McCain can feel good about his four-point lead, but he should also feel anxious about the 23 percent of the Republican voters telling us they are unsure,” said Doug Kaplan, the managing partner of Gravis Marketing the Florida-based firm that executed the poll.
“The other thing that should make McCain worry is that Ward is holding him below 50 percent, which is a critical benchmark for an incumbent,” Kaplan said.
Longtime Democratic pollster Patrick Caddell, who worked for President Jimmy Carter, told Breitbart News the poll proves that the Arizona GOP Senate primary is a close race and it will be determined by who shows up on primary day. Arizona’s early voting will also play an interesting role, he said.
“We see that the early voters favor McCain and the later voters favor Ward,” he said.
“Another twist that goes against McCain is that the less likely voters are backing him and the more likely voters are backing Ward,” Caddell added.

He’s dead, Jim.
“A CNN/ORC poll”
meaning it’s NOT razor thin and Hitlery is being blown out of the water..
Please, Arizona. Throw out this GOP Establishment hack McCain.
Myself and everyone I know are doing our best to make that happen. Stinkin’, old coot needs to retire........
Good luck in your efforts.
Family and friends all voting for Ward.
Make it happen Arizona!
We can only hope that this back stabber of Conservatives is gone.
Already voted Ward. 2 votes. Go Kelli
PLEASE AZ, do not inflict this traitor on us again!
He’s had enough chances to
“Comprehensively Screw Americans Out Of Their Country”
Independents can vote in whichever party’s primary they want. McCain will probably die in office.
Pat Caddell is doing these polls for Breitbart. That means turn out will be everything
McCain’s an abomination. He’s anything BUT some sort of “war hero”. I heard first hand accounts from former (at the time, recent) Hanoi Hilton “residents”. He was and is a total sell-out. I wouldn’t piss on the man if he was on fire.
Come on Arizona, you can do it! Get rid of him tomorrow, we are all counting on you!
I guess my lack of enthusiasm stems from the Paul Ryan debacle. I will never understand how that happened.
Kelli Ward should show McCain yelling at the people about bringing more illegals. This happened during his last run for office.
