An study conducted on behalf of the Sydney Hay congressional campaign shows a "close and winnable race" for the Republican contender in the 1st Congressional District, according to a memo from Washington, D.C.-based polling firm Wilson Research Strategies.

Though the Hay campaign hasn't divulged the figures associated with the poll, they did release a copy of the memo summarizing the findings to PolitickerAZ.com.  

"Sydney Hay has made strong gains since our initial study one month ago," the memo read. "[Democratic nominee Ann] Kirkpatrick’s current advantage is primarily due to a name ID advantage acquired as a result of a more active Democratic primary campaign. Once the general election campaign begins we expect both the name ID gap and the ballot gap to close quickly."
