Rocky Mountain Poll has more good news for Brewer

[ccharles000]

Gov. Jan Brewer’s chances in Republican primary are looking better, with a new Rocky Mountain Poll showing her with an eight-point advantage over her nearest challenger, and double-digit leads over the rest of the field.

The poll, released May 3 by the Behavior Research Center, showed Brewer with 22 percent support among likely Republican primary voters. Brewer’s closest challenger in the poll was Northern Arizona businessman Buz Mills, who had 13 percent. State Treasurer Dean Martin polled at 10 percent, while former Arizona Republican Party Chairman John Munger got just 4 percent.

More than half of the voters in the poll, however, were uncommitted, with 51 percent saying they hadn’t decided which candidate to support.

Brewer’s polling numbers have been on the rise since signing S1070, which is being called the toughest state-level illegal immigration law in the country, on April 23. A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted several days later showed the governor increasing her job approval numbers and margin of victory over Attorney General Terry Goddard, the presumptive Democratic nominee for governor. The Rocky Mountain Poll was conducted from April 15-25, primarily before Brewer signed the bill.

1. Damn says a lot about Arizona.

2. That's just depressing as hell.

I'm convinced this bill was purely a political move on behalf of Brewer and the wingnuts in the AZ state legislature, a cynical move to improve their electoral chances in November. News like this confirms that I may have been correct in my suspicions.

Damn.

3. Terry Goddard, her Dem challenger, will beat her.

She's only going up in the Republican polls.
