On the heels of dual rallies with President Clinton in Tempe and Tucson, the Arizona Daily Star (
http://www.azstarnet.com/...) reports that Pederson continues to close the gap on Jon Kyl. In this second within the margin of error poll, by Zimmerman and Associates and Marketing Intelligence, Pederson is 4.5 points behind Kyl.
As has been the trend, Kyl is still well under 50% polling 45.8% to Pederson's 41.3%. 9% of voters are Undecided while libertarian candidate polls 3.7%. The margin of error was 4.9%. The poll had Kyl leading among men and those in Maricopa county while Pederson led among women, those in Pima County, and those in Rural Arizona.
National media attention and party money has started focusing on Arizona following a DSCC released poll showing Pederson leading by 4% among early voters.
Here is the DSCC ad now running on behalf of Pederson:

Janet Napolitano will carry undecideds into the Pederson column in the name of progress. It's very exciting. The Democratic wave has broken in Arizona and soon Arizonans will have a Democratic Senator and several new Democratic congressmen!
