Former astronaut and incumbent Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is running against Blake Masters (R). The two are separated by a mere point according to a new conservative survey. Arizona is an important swing state vote given that the Democrats wish to retain control of the Senate.
The GOP polling firm Trafalgar Group released a new poll giving Kelly 46.6 of the vote for the 2022 general election. If the vote were held today, Masters would take 45.4 percent. The neutral Cook Political Report showed Arizona as a “toss-up” state.
Kelly ran in the 2020 Arizona special election and won against Martha McSally (R) making that the first time a Democrat took the seat since 1962. The husband of the former shooting victim and representative, Gabby Giffords, has taken the best of the Democrats’ legislation and run on them. They include the Inflation Reduction Acts and the CHIPS Act, which has supported the semiconductor manufacturing sector on America’s soil. Conversely, Masters has run on immigration and crime.
‘Today, a group of over 40 Arizona Republican and Independent business owners, elected officials, farmers, veterans, and community leaders announced their endorsement of Senator Mark Kelly’s re-election. The group joins the nearly 50 Republicans and Independents who endorsed Kelly weeks before the August Republican primary – almost doubling the size of the coalition.’
