A new Rasmussen poll of Arizona's gubernatorial GOP primary shows incumbent Gov. Jan Brewer (R) in an incredibly strong position to claim her party's nomination, with a whopping 45-point lead over her closest challenger.
Brewer leads the pack with 61%, with businessman Buz Mills (R) in a distant second with 16%. State Treasurer Dean Martin (R) picks up the support of 12% of Republicans.
Rasmussen's poll from last month showed her up by 27 points, and their poll from April showed her up by only 8 points.
This meteoric surge can be attributed to her signature of the state's controversial immigration law, which is wildly popular among Arizona Republicans and is fairly popular in the state as a whole.
Brewer will likely face Attorney General Terry Goddard (D) in the general election, where the issue of illegal immigration will surely take center stage yet again.
