AZ-SEN: Democrat Mark Kelly widens lead over Republican Martha McSally in post-debate Senate poll [View all]
A new poll taken after Arizona's only U.S. Senate debate shows no sign of a comeback for Republican Sen. Martha McSally, who continues to trail Democratic challenger Mark Kelly in the race.
A Monmouth University poll released Thursday found Kelly led McSally by margins ranging from 10 percentage points among registered voters to 6 points under different turnout scenarios.
The telephone poll of 502 Arizona registered voters was taken between Oct. 9 and Oct. 13 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. The McSally-Kelly debate was Oct. 6.
Monmouth University is one of only six pollsters nationally with an A+ rating from the website FiveThirtyEight, which tracks polling nationally and state by state.
“Both campaigns have been trying to paint their opponents in a negative light,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. “Among that all-important group of independent voters, the image of McSally as a rubber stamp for Trump has more resonance than Kelly being portrayed as in lockstep with the left.”
