    Yes. I know, but 15 points is quite a gap at this stage. IMO, it indicates there is a particular part of the electorate that dislike Lake and will vote against her. In other words, she pissed someone off (if that’s a real number)

      That’s what I’m trying to tell you. She very much did. People did not like her election denialism. Katie Hobbs won the governor’s seat in large part because she defended the voting system from Trump in 2020 and because Kari Lake was the local face of Trump’s efforts to overturn the election. Now she has that anchor around her neck and her support of the 1864 abortion ban. She’s pissed a lot of people off and I wouldn’t be surprised if the more moderate Republicans just aren’t going to vote at all.
