race

TEMPE, Ariz. A new poll shows incumbent Republican Jon Kyl maintaining his lead over Democratic challenger Jim Pederson in the U-S Senate race. According to the poll by Channel 8 and A-S-U, 43-percent of Arizona voters say they'll vote for Kyl this fall while 29-percent favor Pederson. Twenty-eight percent are uncommitted.
The survey was taken between June 15th and the 18th. The poll was based on telephone interviews with 384 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus five percentage points.

Not only is Pederson getting wrecked by Kyl, I suspect Pederson's numbers are soft. He saw a big jump when he first went on the air but that's becoming oldhat now so voters are probably cooling on him...Kyl also hasn't gotten started...in a month or so I expect to see Kyl north of 45%, closer to 50%

Actually, anonymous, the key number for Kyl is 97%, as in "Jon Kyl votes to support George W. Bush 97% if the time."

Which is nice, until you remember that Jon Kyl was elected to represent Arizona, not the Bushes.

Jim Pederson is in it to represent Arizona, and will remember that fact after he's elected.
