By Daniel Stefanski |
A new poll has President Trump with another slight lead over his Democrat opponent in the Grand Canyon State as the November General Election approaches.
Emerson College Polling recently released its latest round of swing state surveys, showing former President and current Republican candidate for Commander in Chief, Donald J. Trump, with a narrow lead over Democrat candidate and current Vice President, Kamala Harris.
The poll, which was conducted September 27-28, has Trump up on Harris by three percent (50-47%). Emerson College Polling considered the responses of 920 likely Arizona voters to compose its results.
Some of the findings of the Arizona polling included the following:
- 37% of respondents approved of the job Joe Biden is doing as President, compared to 55% who disapproved.
- 40% approved of the job Katie Hobbs was doing as Arizona Governor, compared to 38%.
- Just over two percent of voters were undecided between Trump and Harris in the survey. Of those undecideds, 78% of respondents leaned toward Trump.
- Harris had a 49% favorable rating, compared to 51% unfavorable.
- Trump had a 49% favorable rating, compared to 51% unfavorable.
- The top two issues concerning voters in the survey were the economy (jobs, inflation, and taxes) and immigration.
- 53% of voters believed that Trump would be better for their personal financial situation, compared to 43% for Harris.
- 57% of respondents thought their communities were less safe than five years ago, compared to 19% who thought their neighborhoods were more safe.
- 60% of voters felt their economic situation was worse than it was five years ago, compared to 26% who felt it was better.
- 52% of respondents believed the U.S. government was spending too much on military aid for Ukraine, compared to 16% who believed there was too little American dollars for Ukraine.
Arizona’s eleven electoral votes will be critical for either candidate to win in the quest to hit 270 to win the White House.
