Obama & Dem candidate for Senate within margin of error in Arizona Poll

Last edited Tue Jun 19, 2012, 03:38 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

Strong support from independent voters has Democratic candidates within striking distance of
Republicans in Arizona. Recent polling from Project New America (PNA) shows President Obama
trailing Mitt Romney by just 3 points in Arizona, and likely Democratic Senate nominee Richard
Carmona trailing likely Republican nominee Jeff Flake by just 2 points.

The poll, which surveyed 791 likely Arizona voters from June 4-5, showed Mitt Romney with a 49-46 lead over Obama, and Jeff Flake with a 43-41 lead over Richard Carmona. Both races are within the poll’s +/-3.5% margin of error.

It was taken well before Obama's immigration policy announcement, but released just today.

When it involves elected leaders, then the blame also falls on those who elected them.

If more bat-shit-crazy people are elected in one state than in most of the rest, then noting that fact seems valid.

8. As an NC resident ...

Turn your state blue and then you can complain.

I spent 20+ years in NC trying to turn this place blue, which we did in 2008. And now we have to keep fighting.

Rather than whine about how DU treats your state (as if that mattered), turn your state BLUE.

Get busy.
