1/8/20: Poll: Democrat Mark Kelly leads incumbent McSally in Arizona Senate race

Source The Hill

blockquote]Democratic candidate Mark Kelly is leading Republican Sen. Martha McSally among Arizona voters, according to a new poll.

Kelly, a former astronaut and U.S. Navy captain, has a 4-point lead over the incumbent Republican, according to a poll by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling.

The survey found that 46 percent of polled voters said they would vote for Kelly and 42 percent said they would vote for McSally. An additional 12 percent said they were not sure.


Kelly is married to former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.), who has been a prominent gun control advocate since retiring from Congress after surviving an assassination attempt in 2012.

Democrats are looking to flip at least three Senate seats in 2020 to take control of the upper chamber.

McSally is one of a few vulnerable targets.

Kelly is up 1 point from a poll I saw back in November. I know we're talking about percentages within the margin of error, but very early polls showed Kelly up by 5 points, so at least this new poll shows he is not losing ground but in a stable position.
