Republican Blake Masters has surged to a statistical tie against Biden puppet Mark Kelly in Arizona’s U.S. Senate race.
Per the Daily Wire/Trafalgar poll, incumbent Biden puppet Kelly is in the lead by just one point: 47.4 to 46.4 percent. The same poll also shows Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake beating Democrat Katie Hobbs by three points: 49.2 to 46.4 percent:

I honestly don’t understand why different races on a ballot don’t track similarly for the same Party. Why would you have a Republican governor winning comfortably but not a senator?
This topic was discussed on the Lars Larsson show.
Often the race at the top of the ticket, governor in this case, has coattails.
People who split their votes between parties are far fewer than are those who vote straight party line.
probably name recognition, and “he’s an astronaut!” appeals to the weak minded.
For me Masters is a bit of a puzzle. Last week, he said in the debate that he saw no evidence of fraud in the 2020 election. A blind man could see fraud in the 2020 election. I hope Masters is not a RINO in Patriots’ clothing.
Because there are a number of people who are simply better than you and I and look at everything with an open mind and award their precious vote at will regardless of the consequences. They think they are king makers. Their willingness to judge each candidate individually regardless of the consequences of their vote proves their superiority. Not to say this is a conscience thing, people in general simply do not know why they do what they do. In addition the vast majority of people don’t follow politics and have no idea what is going on, as hard as it is to believe in an echo chamber such as freeperland.
He may be a little odd, but he isn't Mark Kelly. Good enough for me.
Right, but that may partly explain why there may be a gap between Lake and Masters.
Lake’s opponent is uncommonly bad, while Kelly has incredible amounts of Chinese money to fund ads. It hasn’t helped that national Republicans have publicly stabbed Blake Masters. Masters also sometimes comes across as shifting his opinions while Kelly can lie without any sign of shame.
IMHO, Lake will win easily (Karizona!) and Blake will win by a small margin.
Tulsi Gabbard campaigned with Kari Lake yesterday.
Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin will campaign with Lake today.
I hope you're right, but small winning margins for a Republican usually go to the Democrat.
As Baris and Barnes pointed out, undecideds overwhelmingly do not like Biden and think the country is one the wrong track.
Historically voters who disapprove of the president and/or who think the country is on the wrong track ALWAYS break for the challenger rather than an incumbent from the same party as the president.
Masters is going to win this race.
Yes, that was another point discussed. Kari Lake is crushing Katie Hobbs....so much so that Democrats are terrified she will carry Blake Masters over the finish line too - which she will.
“Why would you have a Republican governor winning comfortably but not a senator?”
I occasionally listen to the feed from KYCA in Prescott, AZ — (Chris Plante and Dan Bongino - time shifted 1 hour later) — and I have never hear an ad for Blake Masters.
In fact there is a repulsive ad from Kelly touting how conservative he is and that he does NOT vote the party line... It’s a crock of an ad but Blake Masters could use some advertising help...
He'd better hurry.
The Losertarians will hand Arizona,and possibly the US Senate, to the Democrats. I guess the trillions in Democrat “reconciliation” spending doesn’t bother them after all
Levin said last night that McConnell pulled 6 million away from Masters to help his friend and fellow RINO, Lisa Murkowski in Alaska. Shows you what he thinks of conservatives.
“I hear Tulsi Gabbard is going to campaign with Masters and Lake.”
She campaigned with Kari yesterday, never mentioned Masters. Abe and Masters were there also.
Yes he did. Thiel and Trump stepped up. I heard Tshibaka is beating her in AK. McConnell is in trouble.
