Arizona senate race tied at 47%

 Washington Free Beacon:

Republican Blake Masters is now neck and neck with Sen. Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.) in Arizona’s pivotal Senate race, according to a surprise poll from the left-wing research firm Data for Progress.

Masters and Kelly are tied at 47 percent in a Data for Progress survey of nearly 900 likely voters, conducted from Oct. 11-17.

The poll suggests Masters is gaining momentum in the race, as concerns about the economy continue to hamper Democrats. According to the survey, 45 percent of respondents said they were most concerned with economic issues like inflation and the cost of food. Just 17 percent said they were most concerned with abortion, the primary issue of focus for Democrats since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Kelly was once considered a heavy favorite against Masters, but his lead has dwindled since the summer. Kelly led Masters by 6 points in a RealClearPolitics polling average in September but is up now by just 1.5 points. The shift toward Masters is in line with battleground Senate races in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Ohio, where Republicans are either leading or within striking distance of their Democratic opponents.
...

Arizona used to be a conservative Republican state and can be again if the California ex-pats wise up.  Kari Lake has an expanding lead in her race for governor.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
