The local GOP firm OH Predictive Insights is the latest pollster to give Democrat Mark Kelly a clear lead over appointed GOP incumbent Martha McSally in the Arizona Senate race. The new survey finds Kelly ahead 49-42, which is an improvement from the 47-44 edge he enjoyed in December.
Another Arizona GOP pollster, HighGround Public Affairs, released a survey last month that showed Kelly up 46-39, while the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling found him ahead 47-42. McSally responded to these unfavorable numbers earlier this week by dusting off a late January poll taken for her campaign that showed her ahead by a slim 47-45 margin.
Both candidates began running TV ads in recent weeks, and Kelly is out with a new spot focused on prescription drug costs.
