AZ Senate race: Gallego leads in hypothetical poll
Democratic Congressman Ruben Gallego leads in a hypothetical three-way race for Independent Kyrsten Sinema's Senate seat, who has still not said if she will run for re-election.

The same poll shows Arizona leaning toward Donald Trump in a one-on-one matchup with President Joe Biden.
