Merrill attributes the large percentage of undecided voters to the long, divisive primary season on the Democratic side and the fact that neither of the main parties has held its conventions. The Democratic National Convention begins Monday, and the Republican National Convention starts Sept. 1.More people will start making up their minds after the conventions, Merrill said.
The poll was conducted by ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and local PBS affiliate Channel 8 (KAET).
McCain has consistently led in Arizona polls. While the state had been viewed as a potential swing state before McCain became the presumptive nominee, many political scientists expect Arizona to go with its home senator on Election Day. McCain easily won Arizona's primary. Obama lost to rival Sen. Hillary Clinton despite a vigorous campaign effort.
While polls give an indication of the way people are leaning, voter turnout will be key.
