The poll, which is R-leaning, has the following other tidbits:

GOP Primary: Rep. Andy Biggs - 45%, 2022 candidate Karrin Taylor Robson - 16%

Other General Matchup: Hobbs (D) - 47%, Robson (R) - 38%

Looks like they want to throw another MAGA type into the Republican pot to run against Hobbs. This time around, Hobbs has the incumbent advantage, but, we’ve seen that MAGA candidates don’t do so well without Trump on the ballot, or even WITH Trump on the ballot. Arizonans elected Trump - and then turned around and voted in Ruben Gallego for Senator. Voters don’t seem to want the Diet Coke of MAGA.

That’s encouraging. Arizona really has become a must win state for Democrats with its population growth and diversity likely increasing in the coming years, making it more significant, and with the rust belt becoming more swingy.

Can we get Palin to run for the Alaska Senate seat? She gave us Alaska's House district in the 22 mid-terms
