Kali Lake’s race for Arizona’s vacant Senate seat remains tight against radical left-wing Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ).
With about six months until Election Day, Mr. Lake’s polling numbers show him continuing to close his dwindling lead over Mr. Gallego. Gallego led by 7 points in February and 4 points in March, but the latest April poll shows him leading by just 2 points — statistically tied — in the Emerson Poll. found.
Lake’s race is one of nine Senate races that will determine the balance of the Senate: Ohio, Montana, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland. It is one. This map heavily favors Republicans.
Gallego faces an uphill battle to beat Lake in part because he is tied to President Joe Biden’s brand. Many of the vulnerable Democratic senators running for office have distanced themselves from Biden, worried that the president’s policies of high prices, open borders and war on U.S. energy won’t play well with swing state voters.
Arizona polls suggest Gallego’s campaign is struggling with Biden leading the Democratic field. Biden’s disapproval rate in the state is Late 50s. Half of voters say Gallego looks a lot like Biden, and two-thirds say the country is on the wrong path.
“Even if Ruben Gallego tries to distance himself from Biden, he won’t be able to escape his progressive record. Ruben has voted 100% for Joe Biden, much more so than extremists like AOC. ” Lake campaign spokesperson Alex Nicol told Breitbart News. “Arizonas know that, and they know that the Biden-Gallego policy is the cause of the pain they are feeling locally.”
Additional polling has found that Lake’s presence at the top of the Republican ticket, with former President Donald Trump, could encourage undecided voters to switch their support to him. report On Tuesday’s note:
Among the most important undecided voters, Joe Biden has a 74% disapproval rating, while Gallego has only a 35% disapproval rating among those voters. Once voters know that Gallego is a Biden endorser, those undecided voters will rally behind Kali Lake. Not to mention, Republicans have a 48% to 45% lead on ballots, and among undecided voters, they favor Republicans 55% to 36%. These undecided voters are predominantly Republican, voting for Donald Trump 55% to 26%, meaning undecided voters should be significantly more likely to vote for Kali Lake.
Mr. Gallego appears to be sympathetic to Mr. Biden’s open borders policy. He told voters that open borders issues are “not as important” or “not as prominent” in Arizona as they are in other states. He also supported The recent amnesty package supported by the establishment.
Recent vote Border security is the biggest issue in Arizona. More than 1.7 million illegal immigrants have fled. ran away They are prohibited from entering the United States under the Biden administration, according to the House Oversight Committee.
“If Kali Lake becomes a senator, she will work with President Trump to reverse the disastrous Biden-Gallego policy and return to the America First policies that brought our country four years of historic peace and prosperity.” will defend it,” Nicol said.
