*Numbers may not equal 100% due to rounding
In the last six presidential contests, Arizona was won by a Republican five times. The last Democratic candidate to carry Arizona was Bill Clinton two decades ago in 1996.
“Donald Trump continues to slowly increase his numbers, coming to a near virtual tie here in Arizona,” Mike Noble, managing partner of OH Predictive Insights and chief pollster, said. “Typically, during an election year, Arizona gets little-to-no attention in a presidential contest but this election year appears to be an enigma.”
“Hillary Clinton’s Democratic vote is more consolidated compared to Donald Trump’s Republican vote, 83 to 73 percent,” said Mike Noble. “Surprisingly, the gender gap between the two candidates is nearly non-existent in Arizona, with Clinton leading Trump by 4 percent with female voters.”
Methodology: This survey employed live callers and automated phones which was completed by OH Predictive Insights on August 25-27, 2016, from a 2016 general election sample. Poll was weighted to reflect likely general election turnout. The sample size was 728 completed surveys, with a MoE of ± 3.63% with 23% cell phones/ 77% landlines.
