Kari Lake Takes Incredible Double-Digit Lead Over Dem Opponent - Poll

Share

Republican Kari Lake leads Democrat Katie Hobbs by 11 points in the Arizona gubernatorial race with less than two weeks left before the midterm elections, according to a poll released Wednesday.

Fifty-four percent of respondents said they would vote for Lake as opposed to 43 percent who said they would vote for Hobbs, according to the KSAZ-TV InsiderAdvantage poll. Only 2 percent of respondents were undecided.

The new poll showed an 8-percentage-point uptick for the Republican compared with an InsiderAdvantage poll earlier this month that placed the candidates 3 points apart.

Pollster Matt Towery pointed to Hobbs’ refusal to debate Lake as a key factor in her decline, according to InsiderAdvantage.

Despite the 11-point lead for Lake in that survey, a recent Trafalgar Group/Daily Wire poll placed the candidates within the poll’s 2.9 percent margin of error at 49.2 percent for Lake to 46.4 percent for Hobbs, and an aggregated poll from RealClearPolitics placed the candidates 3.2 percent apart with Lake in the lead.

Earlier this month, Hobbs came under fire for allegedly orchestrating a “slave day” in high school as a student council member at Seton Catholic Preparatory School. During the event, documented in the school’s yearbook, freshman, or  “slaves,” would submit to seniors, or “masters.”

Lake has received her share of criticism as well, with Democrats calling her an “election denier” because of her belief that fraud cost former President Donald Trump the 2020 election.

In a June debate on Arizona PBS, Lake asserted that President Joe Biden “lost the election and shouldn’t be in the White House” and called the election “corrupt.”



This InsiderAdvantage poll was conducted with 550 likely voters Monday and Tuesday and has a margin of error of 4.2 percent.
