Kelly's lead widens to 10 points in Arizona Senate race: poll

A new poll shows that Arizona Democratic Senate nominee Mark Kelly has opened up a 10-point lead over Republican Sen. Martha McSally in one of the highest-profile and best-financed Senate campaigns of the 2020 election cycle.

Kelly, a former astronaut, earned the support of 52 percent of likely voters, according to a recent survey by OH Predictive Insights. McSally, by comparison, currently sits at 42 percent with less than 50 days to the general election.

According to the poll, Kelly is also showing an appeal to a small portion of Republicans. The survey found that 15 percent of Republicans support Kelly over McSally, while just 6 percent of Democrats are supporting the Republican incumbent over their own party's nominee.

Just last month, it appeared as though McSally was closing in on her Democratic challenger, narrowing his lead to only 5 points.
