Kari Lake trails Democratic Representative Ruben Gallego by four percentage points, according to a recent poll placing the two candidates in a hypothetical three-way Arizona Senate race that also includes independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema.
Lake, who lost Arizona's latest gubernatorial race to Democrat Katie Hobbs by just over 17,000 votes and later contested her defeat, officially declared she was running for U.S. Senate in 2024 on October 10.
She's expected to face Gallego, who announced his bid in January, and potentially Sinema, who has not yet said whether she'll run for reelection.

..."A source familiar with the meeting said that NRSC Chair Steve Daines told his fellow GOP senators that Sinema was pulling votes from Lake, despite the Arizona senator having been a Democrat before switching to independent last year.
"Daines said [the] poll shows Sinema is splitting the R vote, not D vote," Punchbowl News reporter Andrew Desiderio wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"Sen. Lindsey Graham stood up during the meeting and said Lake is going to be the GOP nominee in Arizona, so Republicans need to help her campaign," Desiderio added in a subsequent post.
According to the NRSC, the poll had a margin of error of 4.4 percent, which means that Gallego and Lake could find themselves in a statistical tie."...
