Christine Jones' Deep Pockets Making Significant Impact
Outsider Message Resonating in AZ05 Congressional Race
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — July 21, 2016
PHOENIX (July 21, 2016) — Arizona's 5th Congressional District, which holds the reputation of one of the securest Republican seats in the country, is set to elect a new congressman this November. Within the past seven weeks the race has changed, as outsider Christine Jones has surged into the lead with only two weeks until early voting begins for the primary election.
In a survey conducted on July 19 of 408 likely Republican primary voters, undecided voters have dropped 26 percentage points since the last poll conducted on June 2. Despite the competition seen in the June 2 poll, the race has tightened up and Christine Jones now sits atop of the respective Republican field, ahead of her nearest competitor by 7 percentage points.
"Within the last seven weeks Christine Jones came from almost last place to now leading one of the most sought-after congressional seats in the country," Mike Noble, Pollster & Managing Partner of OH Predictive Insights, said. "This is an election cycle unlike any other and Christine Jones is a perfect example of why this cycle may be forever referred to as, 'The Year of the Outsider.'"

"When it comes to the battle of the faith vote Andy Biggs and Don Stapley garnered just over half of the LDS demographic. Christine Jones made significant improvement in the other non-LDS religious communities," Noble added.
