With the 2012 presidential election just over six months away, the latest statewide Merrill/Morrison Institute poll found that Arizonans are evenly divided on whom they will support in November.
According to the poll of 488 registered voters, 42 percent said they would vote for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, while 40 percent said they would support President Barack Obama and 18 percent were undecided. Because the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent, if the election were held today the contest for Arizona’s 11 electoral votes would be a “toss up.”

Registered Voter polls always favor the Dems and are less accurate that the traditional Likely Voter polls. Give Romney a few extra points and you will be closer to the truth.
It’s too early to know how any state is going to go.
Obambi hasn’t unleashed Axelrod and his attack dogs yet.
And will the GOP-E be able to reign in Romney’s propensity for gaffes and missteps?
What we saw in the primary is just a taste of the real Mittens.
He is one unlikable, nasty dude...and it remains to be seen if he can cover that up to translate into votes for him (or votes against O).
Any other Dem would obliterate Mittens in the general...but he just may luck out facing the Muslim Usurper.
Then the GOP-E and Karl Rove will strut like peacocks, claiming responsibility for the win. It’ll be sickening, trust me.
I’m not just referring to Arizona. There’s a whole host of swing states the GOP MUST win... and so far that isn’t the case.
People who think this poll is accurate should be reminded that ASU is the proud home of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism. Looking carefully at this poll just shows that liberals “good news of the day” is that Obama will only lose Arizona by 8-12 points.
He will lose by much more than that. He sued our state, his Justice Department is going after our immensely popular Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and he still refuses to close our border with Mexico. As Mom used to say, his name is mud here.
Registered Voters? 18% undecided? What a joke. Obama will lose Arizona by 10-15%. Bet on it!
