Rep. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) surged into first place with a commanding 14-point lead in Arizona’s closely watched GOP Senate primary, according to a new poll.
A poll conducted by Phoenix-based OH Predictive Insights (OHPI) has McSally ahead with a little over 39 percent of the vote, followed by former state Sen. Kelli Ward at 24.5 percent and former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio trailing far behind at nearly 14 percent. About 22 percent of voters remain undecided.
This is a big shift since OHPI’s last poll from April, which had Ward in first place and leading McSally by 9 points in the race to replace retiring GOP Sen. Jeff Flake. Arizona will hold its primary on Aug. 28.

“Joe needs to drop out and endorse Ward.”
I agree. Joe is doing nothing but getting a RINO elected.
The “more electable” “not Roy Moore” candidate McSally is trailing Kyrsten Sinema in the polls.
Arpaio is un-electable, as much as I would love to have him shaking up the Senate.
If Joe dropped out and threw his support to Ward, I think that she would beat McSally, and have a better shot at beating Sinema. Ward is within the margin of error compared to McSally’s numbers, and that is with Joe in the race pulling polling numbers from Ward.
Who does he owe ?
Is Joe intentionally handing the race to the GOPe candidate here? It sure looks like it. What a stab in the back, after Trump pardoned him.
So true, Trump has erred on several matters, including the appointment of Sessions and the potential willingness to sign amnesty for illegal aliens. he should pardon Manafort for Manafort’s safety. He may regret not doing so if Manafort is killed in prison.
Joe is too smart to not know what he is doing. I am not smart enough to know why he is doing it, totally inconsistent with conservatism.
I’m Arizonan, and if you think the opportunist McSally is preferable to Ward I would suggest that you follow your own direction and ‘get real.’
Marfa McQueeg: A worse voting record than Flake the Psycho. Between her and Scum Willard in Utah, who needs Democrats ?
Chuck Schumer does, to be Majority Leader and make DiFi or Leaky Leahy chairman of the Judiciary committee so they can shut down every nominee and start witchhunts against the administration.
After John McCain and Jeff Flake, I don't trust Arizonans to send a rock-ribbed conservative to the Senate. Martha McSally is about as good as I can hope for.
And in the end, what matters are "yes" votes on President Trump's agenda items and judicial picks. He will get these from McSally.
If they’re going to vote for Marfa McQueeg, they might as well keep Flake the Psycho. His voting record is BETTER than hers. That is utterly unacceptable.
I long ago learned that backing bad RINOs can yield even worse results. I either vote/endorse for the person I respect, or I will not for one I don’t. I opposed Flake in 2012, both in the primary and general, because I knew how rotten he was. He more than lived up to that. I support Dr. Ward 100%.
Nobody is behind Arpiao except Arpiao and his ego. He's not going to drop out and endorse anyone. He's in it for the duration.
If McCain resigns or dies then the governor appoints a replacement who holds the seat until 2020. You know the governor will appoint someone agreeable to McCain and his family. At that that point that person is a two year incumbent with all the advantages that gives them over Ward or Arpiao or whoever runs against them.
McCain and Flake achieved power thanks to the Mormon Mafia. In addition McCain could call on the large contingent of Vets to vote for him, which they stupidly did, and which they will for McSally. Finally, all three are supported by the Phoenix RINO cheap-labor power base. Wait and see. McSally will be as dependable as Flake.
It’s Bull.
You keep doing what you’re doing you keep getting what you’re getting. Ward is the best choice. McSalley is McCain with better flying skills.
McSalley is McCain with better flying skills.
******************************************
Correction: “McSally is McCain with flying skills.” Based upon his record in the Navy, McCain had ZERO flying skills.
As I’ve said before, minus a few RINOS Merrick Garland or worse would be on the Supreme Court. That’s irrefutable proof that the majority is paramount, period.
“Joe needs to drop out and endorse Ward.”
Yep. But he isn’t going to.
