Polls show Ruben Gallego ahead of Kari Lake in the race for the US Senate in Arizona

Three polls from two different organizations continued the series of surveys showing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Ruben Gallego with a significant lead over his Republican rival Kari Lake.

Last week, polls by the New York Times and the London Telegraph showed Gallego leading by 6 and 5 percentage points, respectively, among likely voters. A Times poll of registered voters also showed Gallego leading by 9 percentage points.

Polls have supported Gallegos' consistent lead over Lake since Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-Arizona) announced in March that she would not run for another six-year term.

Gallego was ahead in 39 of the 42 head-to-head polls tracked by the nonpartisan political website FiveThirtyEight.com since early March.
