Arizona Senate race moved to ‘toss-up’ after results, with three Republicans vying for their party’s nomination
The race in Arizona has moved to a “toss-up” in the state after Democrats won the majority of the House of Representatives, according to a newly released poll out this morning.
Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema has overtaken Republican Martha McSally in a new Maricopa Country survey out of the Phoenix-area Survey Research & Communications and the most recent RealClear Politics average of the race, a 6 percent shift.

The new survey comes as Democrats have begun to campaign for Sinema while Republicans have put their primary focus on McSally.
The Arizona Senate race moved to a “toss-up” state between Sinema and McSally after results from the new general election poll out today, according to a new poll from the Maricopa County Democrats.

“And we’re now seeing results from an election poll coming out that could actually be a much more important indicator for the race between Sinema and McSally.

And the election is one that will move Arizona closer to the Democratic majority.”

On a statewide basis, it is more difficult to see how Sinema could be declared the winner in
