PHOENIX -- Buoyed by a major TV blitz, Democratic challenger Jim Pederson has pulled to within 10 points of incumbent U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl.
A new statewide poll shows 45 percent of likely voters say they intend to give the Republican another six-year term, versus 35 percent who back Pederson, a developer. Kyl was ahead 60 percent to 26 percent in January.
AZ Republic Blog - Pederson gets Bill Clinton, Kyl gets Laura Bush

First Lady Laura Bush will headline a June 16 fundraiser for Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., azcentral.com is reporting.
The announcment of the $500-a-person luncheon at the Hilton Scottsdale Resort and Villas comes a couple of days after Democratic Senate challenger Jim Pederson announced that former President Bill Clinton will help him raise cash at a June 1 event at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa.
We haven't seen any polls asking the question, but we'd suspect Laura Bush's public approval numbers are a lot higher than her husband's right now.
