With one week to go before Election Day, a new Arizona State University Cronkite/Eight Poll shows Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama statistically tied in Arizona.

The poll surveyed 1,019 registered voters in McCain's home state on October 23rd, 25th and 26th:
46 percent favored McCain
44 percent favored Obama
The poll has a sampling error of +/- 3 percent, and marks the fourth taken by ASU/KAET-TV.

The first poll showed McCain with a 13 point lead in his home state.

In subsequent polls, McCain's lead slipped to 11 points, 7 points and now just 2 points.

"The race for President is pretty much a toss up," said Dr. Bruce Merrill, professor emeritus at ASU's Cronkite School of Journalism.
