PHOENIX - Arizona has a national reputation for hard-core conservatism, but it's inevitable that Democrats will hold sway in the state as the Latino population grows and independent voters surge, a pollster said Saturday.
Jim Haynes, president and CEO of the Phoenix-based Behavior Research Center, said the shift has been slowed thus far by a lack of participation by Latino and independent voters.
"It's just all the population dynamics point to sooner or later - and I'm going to say later, which is to say maybe a couple of presidential election cycles from now - before Arizona becomes a blue state," he told those attending the Society of American Business Editors and Writers' spring conference.

McCain is hardcore conservative??
Who are they fooling this time?
It’s already a “blue state.” 5 out of 9 US Representatives from Arizona are Rats in safe seats.
Phoenix is not a Republican “stronghold.”
Liberals heading south to a non-state tax state? Then they change the state. See Florida and watch out Texas.
Hey Republicans!
What’s that about the Hispanic vote being naturally conservative and Republican?
Look to Arizona if you want to see what happens after amnesty.
They haven’t paid attentio to Sheriff Joe’s repeated Wins
Let it happen sooner than later. The sooner the dems ruin our society the sooner we can begin the inevitable violence that will lead to either removing the bulk of the Marxists from America or lead to them ruling over their subjects without opposition.
Either way, I doubt I'll be around to see the outcome, but I sure do hope there are enough patriots left in this country to guide us back to the path of prosperity.
And now the real reason why the Feds fought to keep Arizona from enforcing their border....
Ummmmm you can’t use Arizona as the first example. Look to California.
Sure all the scumbags that destroyed California have moved in to destroy Arizona.
The process is inevitable.
This is the extreme leftist Cronkite bunch in Tempe. They’re counting on amnesty and the takeover of Arizona by Mexican Nationals and other Hispanics sneaking in from Central and South America.
Multiple things are happening in Arizona. Some of which might be misinterpreted in this article.
1) redistricting has had an obvious positive affect for democrats.
2) The increase in independents in Arizona should not be interpreted as republicans moving left.
3) there are still more registered republicans in the state (35%) than democrats (30%) with the balance 33 percent independents (yes almost as many as republicans)
4) I live in the east valley (very, very conservative) and most of my neighbors and friends have registered as independents because the GOP is not conservative enough. There is no way any of us vote blue.
5) elections are held when snow birds are present in the state. Mostly from northern somewhat liberal states. Many are registered to vote in AZ .
BINGO!
I left the dreadful People’s Republic of Tucson six months ago. In the Northern Arizona community where I live now, everyone owns a gun and a dog and we have next to zero crime.
But the Republicans insisted on tossing their natural voters here into a crazy, gerrymandered Democrat district. They lose because they want to lose. No group of people could be as deliberately stupid as the GOP.
