POLL: Blake Masters Takes First Lead In Dead-Heat Senate Race
dailycaller.com ^ | 11/4/22 | LAUREL DUGGAN

Republican Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters took the lead over Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly for the first time in a Friday Emerson College poll.

Masters was favored by 48% of respondents, taking a one-point lead over Kelly after months of trailing the incumbent Democrat, the poll found. Masters has been slowly climbing in popularity and was tied with Kelly in other recent polls, though Kelly has a one-point lead in the RealClearPolitics polling average.

About 1% of voters were undecided, and Masters’ new lead is within the 3% margin of error, meaning the race is effectively tied.

Anti-Kelly billboards popped up all over the last couple of weeks.

Polls are just information warfare. They are designed to effect voting patterns not reflect potential voting patterns.

I am still wary of election fraud.

Yep. They seem to be coalescing as a team...a strong team.

There was a pollster I think from the Trafalgar group who was talking to the issue of Republican voters.

He said for the last few years people who intend to vote Republican just do not answer the questions. The polling group has to draw the answers out of people and assure them the data would not be shared.

This election cycle he said Republicans will simply vote and say nothing about politics. At times when they are calling people and polling them the person being asked questions will not answer because they don’t know if it’s the DOJ, Homeland Security, a Democrat organization, etc. or a legitimate polling organization.

They are suspicious their name will wind up on some list of people to harass, audit, arrest, etc. The man said he has never experienced anything like what is going on now.

The libertarian dropping out should get Masters above the level of fraud.

Good post—that is another reason I am convinced that in key races we will above the level of feasible cheating—no “close calls” in important races.

“Masters is going to be an amazing senator.”

I’m prepared for disappointment but man, I hope he wins. The current group of Republican senators has been a disaster.

“Polls are just information warfare. They are designed to effect voting patterns not reflect potential voting patterns.”

Well, there’s a ‘Report Abuse’ button down at the bottom right below the post. You can report Cotton for posting positive news about a Republican.

It’s important to note that so many polls are trending right, right before the election.

Think the voting trend is just now shifting right? Think again. The trend has always been this far right. It’s just getting so close to vote counting time that these media-paid pollsters won’t be able to hide the fact that they have had their thumb on the left side of the scale, pushing down as hard as they thought they could get away with.

I voted for Walt Blackman in the primary but voted for Eli Crane in the general. Yavapai County is heavily Republican with a high turnout rate so he should win by 8-10%.

Emerson College poll.

Masters must actually be 10 points ahead.

They have been hitting Kelly with some pretty good adds here as of late.
