This recently released poll shows the Democratic state senator, who is vying for the seat of retiring Republican Rep. Jim Kolbe in Arizona’s eighth district, has a near 13-point lead over Republican opponent Randy Graff.
Showing further confidence, the DCCC cancelled planned ad buys on Friday, following a similar move by the NRCC on Thursday.
