SAFFORD — A new poll released Monday Normington, Petts and Associates shows Democratic challenger JoAnna Mendoza leading Republican incumbent Juan Ciscomani by 8 points in the race for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District.
Mendoza is leading 47-45 percent, but that changes to 52-44 percent after “voters hear balanced information about both candidates.”
In April, Mendoza was leading by 3 points, 47 percent to 44 percent.
The poll was commissioned by House Majority Pac, a Democratic political action committee.
The poll also showed 29 percent of respondents held a favorable view of Ciscomani’s job performance, while 46 percent had an unfavorable view, including 30 percent very unfavorable.
“Our communities deserve a representative who is going to show up, listen, and always keep their interests top of mind — not someone who will cave to D.C. party bosses. My team and I remain mission-focused and ready to deliver a decisive victory in November,” Mendoza said in a press release.
