For Immediate Release
Strong support from independent voters has Democratic candidates within striking distance of Republicans in Arizona. Recent polling from Project New America (PNA) shows President Obamatrailing Mitt Romney by just 3 points in Arizona, and likely Democratic Senate nominee RichardCarmona trailing likely Republican nominee Jeff Flake by just 2 points.The poll, which surveyed 791 likely Arizona voters from June 4-5, showed Mitt Romney with a 49-46lead over Obama, and Jeff Flake with a 43-41 lead over Richard Carmona. Both races are within thepoll
’s
+/-3.5% margin of error.
“Moderate independent voters make up a
substantial portion of the
Arizona electorate, and it’s verydifficult to win elections without their support,” said Jill Hanauer, President of Project New America.“This poll shows that D
emocrats are gaining ground among independent voters. If this trend continues,
we should expect Arizona to remain competitive through November.”
PNA also conducted an oversample of 529 self-identified independent voters. The oversample madeclear that the Republican brand is unpopular among this critical group.The 23% of voters who describe themselves as independent from either political party have decidedlynegative opinions of prominent GOP officials. Just 35% of these voters have a positive opinion of Mitt Romney, compared to 53% who have a negative opinion of him. Republican Governor Jan Brewer has asimilar 36-54 approve-disapprove rating among independents.Obama, meanwhile, has a positive 51-43 approval rating among independent voters, who prefer thePresident over Romney by 51-39.
