The poll, which was published by AARP, found 48% of respondents favored Gallego versus 45% that preferred Lake. Six percent were still undecided. Although Gallego is leading in the survey, the margin of error is four points, which makes the responses a statistical tie.
Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego is leading his opponent, Republican Kari Lake, by three points in the race to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate as of Thursday, according to a new poll.
The poll, which was published by AARP, found 48% of respondents favored Gallego versus 45% that preferred Lake. Six percent were still undecided. Although Gallego is leading in the survey, the margin of error is four points, which makes the responses a statistical tie.
Gallego's lead is helped by Lake, who was the Republican nominee for Arizona governor in 2022, having a higher unfavorability rating than her Democratic opponent. Only 35% of respondents have a very favorable view of Lake, whereas 49% have a very unfavorable view. While Gallego has a 34% very favorable rating, just 24% have a very unfavorable view, according to the survey.
Lake is also perceived as a more controversial candidate among her own party than Gallego, because she tends to skew further right than mainstream Republicans. Roughly 86% of Republicans and 6% of Democrats back Lake, while 93% of Democrats and 10% of Republicans support Gallego. The congressman is also more favored among Independents, with 47% preferring Gallego and 39% preferring Lake.
“There is a 27-point gender gap among voters 50+, with women supporting Gallego by 12-points and men voting Lake by 15,” AARP noted in the poll.
The AARP poll was conducted between May 28 and June 4, and surveyed 1,358 likely voters, according to The Hill.

Who do the ballot counters favor? The cartels?
The McCain people will vote for the Democrat.
The Democrat has been hiding in his basement, just like the Democrat Governor did. They both know the fix is already in. His unfavorable rating would go up much higher if people knew he abandoned his wife after she had a baby.
Lake like mcsally... turrible candidates
If no debate, fix is in
Agreed.
The McCain Republicans are helping the Democrats.
That is a given.
“So you are an advocate of surrendering.
Good to know.”
Forget it. It’s a DU troll.
It’s the “Si Senor” vote.
Seems like Arizona has been Kaliforniacated.
Then make Byron Donalds his Press Secretary.

My “conservative” Republican friend here in Maricopa County who moved from Minnesota listens to NPR. That should tell you what we are up against here.
Just say NO to Gallego.
Hopefully Trump’s coattails will help Lake win.
