The second in a series of tracking polls commissioned by the Arizona Automobile Dealers Association shows Doug Ducey increasing a previously narrow lead over Scott Smith in the Republican primary for the governor’s race.
The autodial poll of 1,289 likely Republican primary voters, conducted from Aug. 5-7 by Colorado-based Magellan Strategies, showed Ducey with 29 percent of the vote to Smith’s 22 percent. Christine Jones won 13 percent of the vote, with Ken Bennett getting 11 percent, Andrew Thomas 9 percent and Frank Riggs 4 percent. Twelve percent of respondents were undecided.
