A new Rasmussen survey in Arizona (500 LVs, 4/15, MoE +/- 4.5%) shows Democratic Attorney General Terry Goddard (D) trailing each of his potential Republican opponents in the gubernatorial race. He does, however, run closest against current Gov. Jan Brewer (R), who led in a previous survey of the GOP primary.

General Election Matchups
Brewer (R) 44 -- Goddard (D) 40 -- Und 6
Munger (R) 44 -- Goddard (D) 37 -- Und 9
Martin (R) 47 -- Goddard (D) 34 -- Und 11
Mills (R) 46 -- Goddard (D) 37 -- Und 9

A curious note -- the survey puts Brewer's job approval rating at 40 percent, with 56 percent disapproving. A separate Rasmussen poll conducted just two days earlier showed her approval at 48 percent, and disapproval at 51 percent. President Obama's job rating in the state apparently took a similar two-day nose-dive, dropping from 41 percent on a Tuesday to 34 percent on Thursday.
