posted by Christopher Conover

The poll conducted by the Phoenix-based Behavior Research Center shows a dead heat for the Republican Presidential nomination in Arizona between Mitt Romney and Herman Cain. Each garnered the support of 20% of those questioned. Congressman Ron Paul received 9% of the support, Texas Governor Rick Perry collected 7%, and Congresswoman Michelle Bachman was backed by 6% of respondents.

In questions pitting Republican front-runners Romney and Cain head to head against President Obama, Arizona voters are leaning towards the current Chief Executive. According to the poll, Obama is favored by 45% compared to Romney’s 40% and Cain’s 38%.

The poll was conducted over 11 days earlier this month and has a 4.1% margin of error.
