A week out from the primary election, Democrat Gabrielle Giffords and Republican Randy Graf have comfortable leads over their 8th Congressional District rivals, according an Arizona Daily Star-sponsored poll of likely voters.
The poll, conducted by Zimmerman & Associates and Marketing Intelligence, has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points and polled 800 likely voters Sept. 1-4. Election Day is Tuesday.
It also found Republicans are more likely to cross party lines than Democrats in the general election.
Giffords, a former state legislator, led Democrats with support from 45.5 percent of those polled. Her closest Democratic competition is former anchorwoman Patty Weiss, who trailed by 17 points with 28.5 percent. Airline pilot Jeff Latas garnered 5 percent, Raytheon employee Alex Rodriguez 1.5 percent and Francine Shacter 1 percent, with Bill Johnson last at less than 1 percent.
On the Republican side, Graf led with 33 percent of the respondents. State Rep. Steve Huffman trailed by 8.5 points with 24.5 percent. Former party chairman Mike Hellon had 10 percent, Raytheon employee Frank Antenori received 2.8 percent and Mike Jenkins received 1 percent. |
