Could the reliably red state of Arizona be turning blue? According to a new poll of 488 registered voters out of Arizona State University’s Merrill/Morrison Institute, President Obama and Mitt Romney are running neck and neck with 42% of registered voters in Arizona for Romney and 40% supporting Obama. The margin was within the poll’s sampling error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

The poll found that 80% of Republican respondents said they would vote for Romney, with 78% of the poll’s Democrats supporting Obama. The poll’s relatively small sampling of independents are veering more towards Obama (38 percent) over Romney (28 percent)
