In a new poll, Barack Obama is within two points of John McCain in Arizona. In freaking Arizona! WABC15.com reports:
With one week to go before Election Day, a new Arizona State University Cronkite/Eight Poll shows Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama statistically tied in Arizona.
The poll surveyed 1,019 registered voters in McCain's home state on October 23rd, 25th and 26th:
46 percent favored McCain
44 percent favored ObamaThe poll has a sampling error of +/- 3 percent, and marks the fourth taken by ASU/KAET-TV.
The first poll showed McCain with a 13 point lead in his home state.
In subsequent polls, McCain's lead slipped to 11 points, 7 points and now 2 points.
It's probably time to send Obama (or at least Biden) to Arizona to do some campaigning with Bob Lord in AZ-03.
