New polling shows Republican U.S. Rep. David Schweikert falling behind his gubernatorial primary opponent, fellow GOP Congressman Andy Biggs.

Noble Predictive Insights released the results of an opt-in, online survey on Monday. It showed Biggs has increased his lead by 30 points. But Schweikert insists his internal polling shows the race is much closer.

“In ours, the gap is quite narrow,” Schweikert said. “But what's shocking to us and to the other pollsters, if you dig into the numbers, is almost half the Republican primary voters really have not even tuned into the race yet.”

Schweikert says he's the only Republican who could beat incumbent Democrat Katie Hobbs in the upcoming November election.
