Democrats appear to have their best shot at capturing Arizona since Bill Clinton won it in 1996
Arizona has long been touted as a potential swing state in the presidential election. Its time may have finally come.
Demographic shifts, progressive organizing efforts and President Donald Trumps potential weakness in the state appear to be providing Democrats in 2020 with their best shot at capturing the state since Bill Clinton won it more than two decades ago.
A new poll, commissioned by a state labor union and released today, shows Trump running neck-and-neck with Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden in theoretical match-ups.
That poll follows several other recent surveys with more bad news for Republicans. A late July survey conducted by Trumps own pollster showed the president losing to Biden, and another in August reported a tie. In Arizonas closely-watched 2020 U.S. Senate race, two of
those polls show GOP Sen. Martha McSally in a tie and a third shows her trailing Democrat Mark Kelly.
Republicans are very concerned, said Chuck Coughlin, once a top aide to Republican Govs. Fife Symington and Jan Brewer. The ground is shifting.
The change has been gradually building for years as more Latinos, who tend to vote Democratic, have registered and voted in larger numbers.
