The Arizona GOP pollster HighGround Public Affairs is out with a new survey that shows Democrat Mark Kelly leading appointed GOP Sen. Martha McSally by a wide 51-41 margin, which is up from the 46-39 edge Kelly enjoyed in February. This poll, which HighGround says it paid for itself, also finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump 47-45.
Ominously for McSally, this is the second local Republican pollster to find her down by double digits in as many weeks. OH Predictive Insights, which also did not have a client, recently found Kelly up 51-38 as Biden led 50-43.
Kelly’s allies at Honest Arizona are also out with a new commercial as part of what the National Journal’s Madelaine Pisani reports is a seven-figure buy. The Spanish-language ad goes after McSally on healthcare.
