Lake — who narrowly lost to current Governor Katie Hobbs in a 2022 gubernatorial election that was plagued by voting machine “errors” in Maricopa County — had long polled as a favorite over Lamb. One poll from the Phoenix-based research firm Noble Predictive Insights (NPI), which was conducted a week before the election, showed Lake leading by double digits among likely Republican voters. “Lake is, though, sitting at the coveted 50 percent threshold if the election were held today, and Lamb only at 38 percent,” NPI CEO Mike Noble told KTAR News 92.3 FM after the survey’s findings were released on Monday morning.

Lamb appears to have done better among early voters, as Lake’s lead among those who had already cast their ballots was just six points in the NPI poll. She found herself in the lead with 56 percent of the vote to 45 percent for Lamb among those who had not yet to cast their ballots, however.

With the Republican nomination now secured, Lake will be facing off against U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) in the November general election. Gallego was the only Democrat running in the race. The seat is currently held by Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who was elected as a Democrat before switching her party affiliation to independent.

Sinema announced that she will not be seeking re-election earlier this year.

If elected, Gallego has stated that he will work to get rid of the filibuster in the Senate and has endorsed court packing. He has also endorsed a number of amnesty initiatives for illegal aliens, has suggested that illegal aliens should have the right to vote, and has opposed a number of border security initiatives.
