POLL: Just 13 Percent Of Arizona Voters Believe Biden Will Prioritize The Needs Of American Citizens Over Illegal Aliens
A new CBS news survey kept with months of polling data in finding that inflation and illegal immigration remain top issues for voters.
The new poll sought to analyze the impact of abortion measures being on the ballot in both Arizona and Florida, particularly whether the issue would impact the presidential election. If the latest results are accurate, the answer is no, as President Biden is five points behind in Arizona despite carrying the state in 2020. In Florida, former President Trump is still maintaining a commanding nine-point lead.
While support for abortion access is high in both states, the issue does not appear to be affecting Trump’s chances due to concerns over immigration and the economy.
In Arizona, 52 percent of registered voters said recent immigrants have made life in Arizona worse. This represents a massive increase from July 2020, when just 35 percent believed illegal immigration was negatively impacting the state. Only 13 percent of registered voters said immigrants are making Arizona better, down from 29 percent in 2020.
The poll also found that Arizona voters have radically different expectations for border policies from the two major party candidates. 72 percent of respondents believe that Trump’s policies will benefit American citizens over illegal aliens, while just three percent expect him to prioritize immigrants.
As for President Biden, a staggering 13 percent of registered Arizona voters believe the president will prioritize American citizens if re-elected.
The issue appears to be hurting President Biden with a number of key demographics, including Hispanics. Biden is currently running even with Trump among Hispanics in Arizona after winning support from a majority of them in 2020.
Overall, the poll found Trump leading Biden with 52 percent of the vote to the president’s 47 percent. Trump continues to lead his chief political rival in the majority of swing states as of this report.
