Politics Rasmussen: Brewer 56%, Goddard 37%
Posted by Jim Nintzel on Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 8:54 AM
Rasmussen provides some new Arizona poll numbers:
A new Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey finds Brewer leading Democrat Terry Goddard by a 56% to 37% margin. That’s little changed from a month ago. Just two percent (2%) prefer another candidate while five percent (5%) are undecided.Brewer’s prospects dramatically improved after she signed the much talked about immigration law that has become the subject of a national debate. In Arizona, 65% of voters continue to favor the law while just 27% are opposed. Nationally, most voters would like a similar law in their own state.
By a 60% to 34% margin, Arizona voters oppose the Justice Department lawsuit against their state. Opposition to the lawsuit is similar nationwide. The law is scheduled to go into effect on July 29 and a federal court is currently hearing the federal government’s claim that the law should not be implemented.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of voters in Arizona want President Obama to send more U.S. troops to their state in an effort to help secure the border. Only six percent (6%) believe there are already too many troops in the state.
Forty percent (40%) believe that the immigration law has had a positive impact on the state’s image while 46% believe it’s had a negative impact.
Forty-three percent (43%) believe the law is good for the state’s economy while 37% say it’s bad for the economy.
ETA: Rasmussen's accuracy has been questioned by pollwatchers such as Nate Silver at 538.com.

I would tell you, Red Star, but I've decided (with the exception of this message) that I'm not responding to you until you apologize for what you said about my mom.
Oh, okay, Red Star apologizes for whatever was said about Jim Nintzel's Mom/mom. NBD.
Time for a Mars update, Jim Nintzel?
