Poll reports Arizona approval of Trump hits new low
The poll found his economy rating fell 10 points among Democrats and independents, while Democrats held a 1-point generic ballot edge.
President Donald Trump's job approval rating in Arizona hit-17, according to a Noble Predictive Insights poll released on Tuesday, marking his lowest rating on record in the state.
Arizonans are blaming Trump for the current economy, causing a 10-point drop in independent and Democratic approval since Feb, when the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran began.
Democrats' approval shifted from-81 to-91, and independents from-34 to-44; Noble called this shift a "big deal" because Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs is running for reelection this year.
The poll noted Gov. Katie Hobbs' job approval is at +5, while her handling of Arizona's economy breaks even—a contrast Noble told The Center Square is "huge" for Democrats despite Republican voter registration advantage.
Around 10 years ago, independents leaned toward Republicans rather than Democrats in Arizona; today, Democrats hold an advantage on a generic congressional ballot despite the state's Republican voter registration advantage.
