I read this too late. It won’t take me to the poll. I was going to say 62% against says a lot, but isn’t Arizona against SSM? I mean, a majority of Arizonians?

Tucson is much more liberal than most of Arizona. There is a movement here to have parts of the state, mostly southern parts, secede because the state government is too conservative.

From Wikipedia (yeah, I know);

Secession

As of 2013, secession of any kind has little support anywhere in Arizona and no one has been able get the issue on any ballot for a vote in Arizona. Beginning in 1987, a group of southern Arizonans have considered seceding from the rest of Arizona to form a new U.S. state, potentially named Gadsden. A political push to that effect began in February 2011, led by a group of attorneys largely in opposition to what they perceive as a nativist conservative dominance in the Phoenix area in contrast to the Democrats of the south. The organizers of this movement had aimed to hold a referendum vote on the matter in 2012 in Pima County (and, possibly, Santa Cruz County and Cochise County).[1][2][3]
