New polls show Biden and Kelly with slight leads in Arizona
Pollsters say both races still too close to call
PHOENIX, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A new Arizona-based poll shows the Democratic contenders for president and U.S. Senate with slight leads in their races ahead of the November 3rd General Election.
The survey, from Data Orbital, a Phoenix-based research firm, is the first conducted in the state since the Presidential Debate and President Donald Trump's coronavirus diagnosis.
It shows former Vice President Joe Biden with a slight lead over the President. Undecided voters outpaced those supporting Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen.

"We have been tracking both of these races for the last year and they both remain tight.

"With regards to the President's numbers, while we have seen large drops in his polling nationwide and in other states since the debate, we are not seeing that in Arizona."
