Democrat Richard Carmona is tied with likely GOP nominee Jeff Flake in this year’s U.S. Senate race, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey.

The PPP survey, commissioned by the League of Conservation Voters, shows that both candidates have the support of 38 percent of voters.

The survey also shows that Mitt Romney is leading Barack Obama, 52 percent to 41 percent, among Arizona voters.

    Improved for a while, but now it looks like there is no end to this. Teasing?

  2. Thanks for posting this poll in its entirety. It’s interesting. If I were a campaign advisor, I’d tell Carmona that he better start rounding up the Pima and Cochise votes now, rather than waiting for the end of the Cardon/Flake primary.

  3. Isn’t the Weekly’s Skinny mini article “Bang, Bang, You’re Cured” still in the archives? Worth a read/revisit before November.

  5. The fluctuation in polls is bothersome. Pre-elections polls are much less reliable than they used to be.
    Critics say that Rasmussen and PPP polls both have partisan bias. The problem with a great many polls is
    that samples are too small to make them reliable. The polls on the special election in Arizona proved well
    off the actual vote count. One poll had the wrong candidate leading. Another exaggerated Ron Barber’s
    margin of victory. These re-election polls need to be within 1% or 2% of the actual vote count to make
    them useful. But many such polls are much farther off the mark.
