Dr. Kelli Ward may end up pulling off a surprise victory against longtime incumbent Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Tuesday, as new polling from Breitbart News Network and Gravis Marketing shows a razor thin lead for McCain.
Ward, a former state senator who stepped down from that post to focus on the U.S. Senate race, trails McCain with Arizona Republicans by just four points heading into election day. Ward gets 33 percent in the latest Breitbart/Gravis poll compared to McCain’s 37 percent. Twenty-three percent of the likely GOP primary voters are undecided walking into election day.

“McCain can feel good about his four-point lead, but he should also feel anxious about the 23 percent of the Republican voters telling us they are unsure,” said Doug Kaplan, the managing partner of Gravis Marketing the Florida-based firm that executed the poll.
“The other thing that should make McCain worry is that Ward is holding him below 50 percent, which is a critical benchmark for an incumbent,” Kaplan said.
Longtime Democratic pollster Patrick Caddell, who worked for President Jimmy Carter, told Breitbart News the poll proves that the Arizona GOP Senate primary is a close race and it will be determined by who shows up on primary day. Arizona’s early voting will also play an interesting role, he said.
“We see that the early voters favor McCain and the later voters favor Ward,” he said.
“Another twist that goes against McCain is that the less likely voters are backing him and the more likely voters are backing Ward,” Caddell added.

A McCain loss would mean the purge is real and Cankles is toast.
The same way the Linda Graham election went in SC. I voted to send him packing, but there was not really a good challenger. I don’t know anyone here who likes Linda, but (s)he keeps winning.
I don’t know about that, but her ad showing him consulting with his friends from Al Qaeda and ISIS were very effective.
That's a BUNCH considering it's the day before the vote.
I would love to see McCain lose but I sure wouldn’t put money on it.
I saw where Graham started his campaign like two years in advance. Wasn’t taking any chances.
We have nothing to fear from a Kelli Ward primary win, Juan.
Hillary is not the subject of this poll, CNN / ORC was not the “razor thin” poll...
Another poll showed McPain with a huge lead, so who knows.
Im with you there. While my hopes are for the good Doctor, I keep the Wisconsin primary in mind.
Are there THAT many stupid people in AZ??
I thought McCain re-won his seat in the last election... has it been 6 years???
So what’s this about foreign hackers having compromised election systems in Arizona?
Those hackers wouldn’t be supporters of a certain incumbent Senator who seems to have a particular interest in some most curious foreign policies, would they?

It sure has. J.D. Hayworth had one of the biggest one-day money-bombs ever back in 2010. It wasn’t enough. McCain pulled some obscure string to get Sarah Palin to stump for him and that was it.
She has a beautiful smile and is very energetic and is very good at bringing attention to the massive deficit we have in the Senate by the name of John McCain. He is an idea whose time has come and gone.
We need new blood after 40 years it’s time to move on.
I think it will take a divine intervention for her to win the primary tomorrow, but I hope God grants her the favor. No more open borders idiots.
-—Twenty-three percent ..........are undecided——
I’ll take that to mean they don’t like McCain and are afraid to say so
there is no razor thin margin with 23% undecided
Open primaries are a curse.
