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.
