Inside Tucson Business – Glassman holds slight edge in Ariz. Dem. senate primary
July 27, 2010
Former Tucson city council member Rodney Glassman is holding a slight lead over the three other candidates for the Arizona Democratic Primary senate race, according to a new poll.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Democratic Primary Voters in Arizona finds former Tucson Vice Mayor Rodney Glassman still barely leading the four-candidate field with 15% of the vote.
The other three candidates are close behind: ex-State Representative Cathy Eden with 11% support, followed by labor organizer Randy Parraz at 10% and investigative reporter John Dougherty at seven percent (7%).
Ten percent (10%) of likely primary voters favor some other candidate in the race, and 47% are undecided. Fifty percent (50%) or more don’t know enough about any of the primary hopefuls to express any kind of opinion about them, favorable or unfavorable.
These findings have changed little from a month ago, when Glassman and Eden were in a near tie with 12% and 11% of the vote respectively. Forty-six percent (46%) were undecided.
Yesterday we told you about another Rasmussen Reports poll which showed John McCain holding a 20 point lead over his Republican senate primary challenger J.D. Hayworth.
Rasmussen polls have come under fire from other pollsters, though, over the validity of their methodology.
