Former Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake may have been defeated last year, but she is heavily favored to become her state and party's Senate pick next year, according to a new poll.
Lake leads lawyer and former gubernatorial primary rival Karrin Taylor Robson by 28 percentage points, 38% to 10%, in a hypothetical race to become Arizona's next Republican Senate nominee, a poll published by J.L. Partners found. While 29% of likely Arizona Republican primary voters were undecided, Mark Lamb had 8% support, Blake Masters 7%, Abe Hamadeh 4%, and Jim Lamon 3%. Another 2% said they would back another potential candidate.
Likely Arizona Republican primary voters also prefer former President Donald Trump to Gov. Ron DeSantis by 23 points, 47% to 24%, in their hypothetical contest for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024. While 11% were undecided, former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Gov. Glenn Youngkin , former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Sen. Tim Scott , former Wyoming Rep.
Trump's advantage over DeSantis decreased slightly to 17 points, 52% to 35%, when respondents were asked to choose between the pair. Another 13% were undecided. Lake, too, has an edge among likely Arizona Republican primary voters should she want the GOP's vice presidential nod. Haley was her closest opponent, 22% to 15%, and the only one with double-digit support, although 9% of respondents would select someone else and 15% were undecided.
The poll's findings are based on responses from 550 likely Arizona Republican primary voters, fielded from April 10-12, for a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 points.
