Fallout from Jan Brewer’s disastrous and embarrassing debate performance….
Gov. gains 3 points

Jan Brewer verbally stumbled, went silent and mangled her grammar during last week’s televised debate.

The result of her performance, a new statewide survey indicates, is that she is even more popular.

Pollster Scott Rasmussen found 60 percent of the 500 likely Arizona voters questioned in the automated telephone survey on Tuesday said they intend to vote for the incumbent. That’s up three points from a survey taken a week before the debate.

Democrat Terry Goddard remains stuck at 38 percent.

And just 1 percent of those questioned said they had not yet made up their minds.

While Brewer was reveling in the new numbers at a campaign event in SaddleBrooke Wednesday, Goddard said he didn’t believe it.

“This is a Rasmussen poll that asks us to believe something that is almost impossible to believe, and that is she picked up support after her horrifyingly bad performance,” he said.

“I can’t understand it,” Goddard continued. “The poll itself has to be flawed.”
