Rocky Mountain Poll: In Arizona, Obama leads Romney & GOP field

PHOENIX -- A Rocky Mountain Poll of Arizona voters has President Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney and other potential Republican challengers for the presidency.

The results are the latest evidence that, as CNN's Political Ticker wrote today, Arizona is looking "competitive in the general election."

The poll shows President Obama with a 45-40% advantage over Romney in a hypothetical general election showdown, and Obama with a 44-38% advantage over Rick Perry and 45-38% advantage over Herman Cain.

"All year long, we've seen Republican presidential candidates overreach and go to extremes," said Andrei Cherny, Arizona Democratic Party chairman, "and Mitt Romney's recent call to let homeowners hit rock bottom only reinforces that the GOP is out of touch with the mainstream. Republicans may be in for a rude awakening in 2012."
