Arizona 2024 Trump-Harris Polls: Trump Holds Advantage In Latest Swing State Poll

Donald Trump Speaks On The Economy In Tucson, Arizona

Trump's has maintained a lead over Harris in Arizona.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to hold a lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in Arizona, according to a new survey, maintaining an edge in the swing state where immigration and abortion ballot measures will play a key role in how voting shakes out this November.


Key Facts

Trump leads Harris by five points (51% to 46%) in a Saturday New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena College poll, in line with the four-point lead he held over the vice president in September.

Trump also commands a two-point lead in the latest Emerson poll (49% to 47%), holds a two-point edge in FiveThirtyEight’s polling average and is ahead by one point in Real Clear Politics’ polling average.

But a Wall Street Journal poll published Friday finds Harris leading by two points (47% to 45%) in Arizona, where she benefits from more support than President Joe Biden had in March before he dropped out of the presidential race.

Trump holds an advantage in Arizona over Harris on the economy, the Times reported, noting the former president has a narrow edge on the question of who would better help the working class.

Ballot Initiatives On Immigration And Abortion Could Decide Arizona

Arizona voters will vote on the state’s Right to Abortion Initiative, which would codify abortion rights in the state’s constitution. An immigration and border law enforcement measure—which would make unlawfully crossing the Arizona border from Mexico a state crime, letting state police arrest and detain migrants and allowing state judges to deport them— will also be on the ballot. Harris and Democrats are banking on the abortion ballot measure to prove successful—as similar initiatives have in seven other states where they’ve been up for a vote—while Trump hopes for the same for the border enforcement measure. Immigration is a leading concern in Arizona, the Associated Press reported, noting frustration over illegal immigration persists in the state following a surge in migrant crossings.

Big Number

2.5 points. That is Harris’ national polls lead in FiveThirtyEight’s polling average. The vice president also commands a 1.8-point lead in Real Clear Politics’ polling average and leads by three points in Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin.

Tangent

Trump, who won Arizona in 2016, lost the battleground state by just 10,457 votes in 2020 to Biden. Despite the loss, Trump claimed victory in Arizona and later alleged the entire voter database of Maricopa County, the state’s most populous county, was deleted. Republican officials overseeing the election refuted Trump’s claim, with Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer characterizing Trump’s statement as “unhinged.” Trump also attempted to press former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) to overturn the election, telling the governor in a phone call if enough fraudulent votes were identified, it would flip the results in his favor, The Washington Post reported.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.

Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French.
