Pollsters additionally found Lake statistically tied with Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ-03), who is poised to secure the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, when Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) was included in the survey.
The Noble Predictive Insights (NPI) poll showedLake has the support of 54 percent of Arizona Republicans, while Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb was supported by 21 percent, and Brian Wright had the support of 6 percent of the state’s Republicans.
In a general election race including Lake, Gallego and Sinema, pollsters found Gallego ahead with 34 percent of support, followed by Lake at 31 percent, then Sinema with just 23 percent. An additional 12 percent told pollsters they were undecided.
The poll of 1,002 Arizona registered voters, conducted between February 6 and February 13, is reported to have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent, meaning Gallego’s lead over Lake remains a statistical tie in the three-way race.
Should Sinema decide against running for reelection, pollsters found Gallego would have a 10-point lead, but the number of undecided voters increased to 16 percent.
