According to a new poll released Thursday, Republican Kari Lake is leading the Arizona gubernatorial race by four points.The poll, taken by Fox10 Phoenix and polling firm InsiderAdvantage, says that Lake is leading her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs 49.3% to 45.6%, with only 4% of voters saying they are undecided ahead of next month’s elections. Lake also has a commanding lead with voters aged 18-39, beating Hobbs by eleven points.

Poll: Republican Kari Lake Takes Lead Over Katie Hobbs in Arizona Gubernatorial Race
Arizona is one of the major battleground states in November’s midterm elections. Gubernatorial races have taken on extra importance since the Supreme Court overruled Roe v Wade, allowing state anti-abortion laws to take effect.
According to a new poll released Thursday, Republican Kari Lake is leading the Arizona gubernatorial race by four points.
The poll,
taken by Fox10 Phoenix and polling firm InsiderAdvantage, says that Lake is leading her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs 49.3% to 45.6%, with only 4% of voters saying they are undecided ahead of next month’s elections. Lake also has a commanding lead with voters aged 18-39, beating Hobbs by eleven points. Independent voters also prefer Lake, according to the poll.
Late last month, a judge ruled that prosecutors could enforce an 1864 law that banned abortions unless it is necessary to save the mother’s life. Arizona also passed a law earlier this year banning abortions after 15 weeks. That disparity has led to doctors stopping abortions in the state.
