**NEW AZ POLL ALERT** Sinema (Democrat) 48% McSally (Repugnant) 40%






Phoenix, AZ (October 19, 2018) - With early voting underway in Arizona, Data Orbital is pleased to present results from its latest statewide survey of likely Arizona voters’ preferences in the US Senate race.

As we continue to maintain a high standard in our methodology and transparency, we are proud to announce that we are the newest members of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) Transparency Initiative. According to AAPOR, “The Transparency Initiative is an approach to the goal of an open science of survey research by acknowledging those organizations that pledge to practice transparency in their reporting of survey-based research findings”. This reflects Data Orbital’s mission of providing trusted survey research based on the highest standards.

This survey was modeled on two possible outcomes. One model allows for a Democratic surge, giving Republicans only a 5% ballot advantage compared with their 13% advantage in the last midterms. The other is modeled on an average surge with a 9% Republican ballot advantage.

In the U.S. Senate race, both models shows Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema with a lead over Congresswoman Martha McSally. In the Democratic surge scenario, Sinema has an 8.1% lead while in an average surge, her lead tightens slightly to 5.4%. Meanwhile, just over 7% of voters remain undecided.

I was only 10 or 11 though lol ... Cheap Trick opened ...

Saw the Beach Boys, Linda Ronstadt, Elvin Bishop, and Dolly Parton in '78 too (which was all in one show, one of the legendary Bill Graham's legendary 'Day on The Green' shows at Oakland Coliseum, which I attended about 10 of over the years)

so let's hope that's a special edge here. Their founder is openly conservative with a background in Republican politics.

10. I would like to think that the dishonorable Martha McSally's assault on Sinema is backfiring.

Dishonorable McSally is accusing Sinema of being a terrorist sympathizer.

Not after allied organizations pumped Russian dark money into their war chests and Russian bots pumped up Donnie’s campaign.

It needs to be asked: how many rubles are funding McSally’s campaign?

effect yet to, I am sure to the coming McConnel verbiage cutting Ss, Medicare, Medicaid. That could add easily 4-6 more points to her lead.
