Blake Masters Tied with Trump-Backed Candidate in Arizona House Race
According to an internal polling memo commissioned by Blake Masters’s campaign, the former Senate candidate is in a dead heat with a candidate backed by former President Donald Trump in the race for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District. The memo, which was first shared with the Washington Examiner, reveals that Masters and Republican Abe Hamadeh both have 24% support from likely Republican primary voters.
The other candidates in the race are trailing behind, with former Rep. Trent Franks at 9%, State House Speaker Ben Toma at 3%, political newcomer Isiah Gallegos at 3%, and state Sen. Anthony Kern at 1%. About 35% of respondents were undecided.
The poll, conducted by Fabrizio, Lee & Associates, also found that Masters is well-known among more than 90% of Republican primary voters in the district. He also has a 47% favorable opinion, compared to Hamadeh’s 38%.
Although both Hamadeh and Masters were endorsed by Trump in their previous campaigns, Hamadeh currently has Trump’s endorsement for this congressional race. However, when voters were reminded that Trump endorsed Masters in his Senate race last year, Masters gained a slight lead at 31%.
The survey, which included 400 likely Republican primary voters, was conducted via phone calls and text messages. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to both Masters’s and Hamadeh’s campaigns for comment.
