Interested Parties Project New America Senate, Presidential Races in Arizona Close June 19, 2012

For Immediate Release


Strong support from independent voters has Democratic candidates within striking distance of Republicans in Arizona. Recent polling from Project New America (PNA) shows President Obama trailing Mitt Romney by just 3 points in Arizona, and likely Democratic Senate nominee Richard Carmona trailing likely Republican nominee Jeff Flake by just 2 points. The poll, which surveyed 791 likely Arizona voters from June 4-5, showed Mitt Romney with a 49-46 lead over Obama, and Jeff Flake with a 43-41 lead over Richard Carmona. Both races are within the polls +/-3.5% margin of error. Moderate independent voters make up a substantial portion of the Arizona electorate, and its very difficult to win elections without their support, said Jill Hanauer, President of Project New America. This poll shows that Democrats are gaining ground among independent voters. If this trend continues, we should expect Arizona to remain competitive through November. PNA also conducted an oversample of 529 self-identified independent voters. The oversample made clear that the Republican brand is unpopular among this critical group. The 23% of voters who describe themselves as independent from either political party have decidedly negative opinions of prominent GOP officials. Just 35% of these voters have a positive opinion of Mitt Romney, compared to 53% who have a negative opinion of him. Republican Governor Jan Brewer has a similar 36-54 approve-disapprove rating among independents. Obama, meanwhile, has a positive 51-43 approval rating among independent voters, who prefer the President over Romney by 51-39.

PPP Surveyed 791 likely Arizona voters from June 4-5 on behalf of Project New America. The margin of error for the survey is +/-3.5%. PNA also conducted an oversample of 529 self-identified independent voters. The independent voter survey has a margin of error of +/-4.3%. Both surveys were conducted through automated telephone interviews with the option for either Spanish or English.
