Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ)

Gaffe all your want, Jan Brewer -- the polls show voters don't care. A new Rasmussen survey of 500 likely voters in Arizona shows voters are more than ready to return the Republican to the governor's office this November. The poll shows Brewer ahead of Democratic nominee Terry Goddard by 22 points. She's leading the race 60-38, according to the new numbers.

The poll comes after the last Rasmussen poll from August 25 showed Brewer ahead 57-38. Despite the truly embarrassing moments Brewer has publicly suffered between that poll and today's new one, her already huge lead appears to have actually gone up.

The TPM Poll Average shows Brewer leading Goddard 59.9-36.4. The trendlines show her with almost epic momentum in the contest -- suggesting that if Goddard is going to make this race competitive, he had better make his move soon.

Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ)

A new Rasmussen survey of the Arizona governor's race is out this morning, and the results look good for Republican Gov. Jan Brewer. The poll shows Brewer up 56%-37% over Democratic state Attorney General Terry Goddard.

Brewer's lead over Goddard has been growing since late April, around the same time that the Arizona governor signed the state's controversial new immigration law. A Rasmussen poll from April 27 showed Brewer up eight points, and things have only improved for her since then.

The TPM Poll Average shows Brewer up 55.6%-36.7%. The margin of error for the latest Rasmussen poll is ±3.0 percentage points.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio

A new Rasmussen poll of Arizona finds that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is known nationally for his hard-line stance against illegal immigration, would be the strongest possible Republican candidate for governor in next year's election.

Democratic state Attorney General Terry Goddard, the likely Dem nominee for governor, was tested against three Republicans. Goddard leads incumbent Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who succeeded to the office after Dem Gov. Janet Napolitano was appointed Secretary of Homeland Security, by 44%-35%. Goddard edges state Treasurer Dean Martin by 40%-38%, within the ±3% margin of error.

Arpaio, however, leads Goddard by a convincing margin of 51%-39%. He is not currently a candidate, but that could change with numbers like these.

Late Update: The new Rasmussen primary poll has Arpaio as the heavy favorite for to the Republican nomination: Arpaio 47%, Martin 22%, Brewer 10%, and others in the single digits.
