Arizona, a win for Trump in 2016, slides to 'lean Democrat' in Cook forecast
Fox News ^ | September 17 2020 | Bradford Betz

A new survey released Thursday by the Cook Political Report changed its forecast of Arizona in the November election from “toss up” to “lean Democrat,” indicating President Trump’s dwindling support in the state he had won by more than 3 points in the 2016 presidential election.

The findings reveal a broader shift in the political leanings of Arizona. With the exception of President Clinton’s second term, the Grand Canyon state has voted Republican since 1952.

The change of attitudes is largely attributed to Maricopa County, where the state’s capital is located and where about two-thirds of the voters come from, according to the survey’s findings.

And gee, we know how accurate Fox News polls were in predicting the 2016 results.

The GOP Establishment caused states like this to turn blue.

If that state produced the likes of McLame and Flakey there’s something to it. McSally is already a loser. That what job lefty she lost to throws us a bone from time to time so the state is simply up for grabs. Californian escapees bring their liberalism with them.

“In another setback for Trump, Republican voters in Arizona generally are not as committed to supporting him as surrounding solidly GOP states, the survey says, citing the likely influence of former Sen. Jeff Flake and the late Sen. John McCain, both of whom were among the president’s most outspoken critics.”

This part is the real howler. If Flake is so influential, why were his polling numbers that very dismal, IIRC?

Fox, can’t you do anything beside the predictable pro dem polls that turned out to be total fakery?

Where’s Arizona? Oh that’s right, it’s right on the border of Mexico, you know, the border Biden intends to basically obliterate as well as immigration enforcement.

People in Arizona who are thinking of voting for this lunatic should take the time to visit a nice website called “Documenting reality” where Mexican drug gangs upload videos of themselves torturing people to death, stuff that makes ISIS look like teddy bears by comparison. I DARE Biden voters in Arizona to look at those video and if they can’t then to HELL with them for risking the lives of so many.

After seeing the Senate race poll with the Dem up by 10 points, I can see AZ going Blue from all the Kalifornia transplants.

Factoring in the voter fraud, they are probably correct.

A couple of years ago, AZ had the two most despised Senators serving in the Senate at the same time.

Fox polls have been as wrong as all other MSM polls have been. And, like the others, they consistently oversample dems by 9%. Every time.
