Arpaio leads GOP gov. candidate poll

According to a poll, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio would be the most likely victor of Republican candidates for the governor's office.

The best bet for Republicans to keep the governor’s office would be to choose Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio as the party’s nominee, a new statewide poll shows. According to Rasmussen Reports, a head-to-head race between incumbent Republican Jan Brewer and presumptive Democratic nominee Terry Goddard would result in her ouster.


The survey of 1,200 likely voters earlier this month found 44 percent of those asked favor Goddard, currently the state’s attorney general, against 35 percent who said they would vote to give Brewer a term of her own.

Another 9 percent wanted someone else, with the balance undecided.

Treasurer Dean Martin, who has said he is considering entering the fray, does somewhat better, in a statistical dead heat with Goddard at 40 points for the Democrat and 38 for Martin.

But the 77-year-old Arpaio picked up the backing 51 percent of those asked, against 39 percent for Goddard.
