A new poll by Rasmussen Reports gives President Bush a 50 percent to 45 percent lead over Democratic Sen. John Kerry in Arizona.
That mirrors an Arizona State University poll this week that also had Bush up by five points over Kerry.
Recent surveys have shown Bush leading in Arizona by between five and 11 points.
Bush carried Arizona by six percentage points over Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election.
Rasmussen also released new polls on Wednesday showing Bush with narrow leads over Kerry in Nevada and New Mexico.
The Southwest has become a top battleground in the Kerry-Bush race though New Mexico and Nevada are considered more in play than Arizona.

Interesting. 5 points is a battleground?
Only if you factor in the fraud.
Rep. Russ Pearce said on the radio this afternoon, vis-a-vis the Prop 200 lawsuit, that over 26,000 absentee ballots have already been cast here in Arizona.
Jan Brewer's (Secy of State) website says we have 2.44 million registered voters as of the 2004 Primary Election, so the early ballots represent a shade more than 1% of the voting population.
