Kari Lake faces campaign struggles as she dismisses poll concerns and fundraising gap in Arizona Senate race

Kari Lake, a Republican candidate for the Arizona Senate, is reportedly struggling in her campaign, alienating key voter groups. A recent report highlights her dismissive comments about poll numbers and claims of sexism affecting her performance against Democrat Ruben Gallego. Lake's fundraising is significantly lower than Gallego's, with $21.3 million compared to his $57.4 million. A recent poll shows Gallego leading by 5 points and attracting some Trump voters, while Lake insists her internal polling indicates she is ahead. Despite the negative reports, Lake remains confident, stating her polling methods include AI analysis of social media trends. She rejects the notion that her campaign is faltering, labeling critical comments as "crazy woke talk."
