"Gov. Janet Napolitano remains the state's most popular elected official and would top Sen. John McCain in a matchup for his Senate seat, according to poll results released Tuesday. The poll says that Napolitano, a Democrat, would defeat Arizona's senior U.S. senator (a Republican who is running for president) by 11 percentage points, 47% to 36%, if the two were running for the Senate today. Seventeen percent of respondents were undecided, according to the poll of 629 Arizona voters conducted by the nonpartisan Phoenix-based Behavior Research Center. The matchup is entirely hypothetical, with the election more than three years out and neither official paying more than scant attention to the 2010 race."
That's when McCain's term ends, and it's unknown whether he'll seek re-election if his bid for president fails next year. Napolitano, meanwhile, is term-limited and may find herself looking for a new challenge in - you guessed it -2010
