This Senate race is part of the midterm elections, which will be held on November 6.

Sinema, 42, is most popular among people with a Latin American background, independent voters and women, while McSally, 52, is mostly supported by white voters and men.

Republicans currently hold a 51-49 majority in the Senate, meaning that Sinema's win could be one that help shift control of the upper house to the Democrats. Arizona has had two Republican senators since the 1980s.
