New Arizona poll shows Trump inching ahead of Biden

A bit of good news for President Trump came Monday evening. A new poll shows him leading former Vice President Joe Biden in Arizona by about a point-and-a-half just 85 days before the election. The state-wide survey conducted by the Trafalgar Group, a Republican polling and consulting firm, has Trump ahead, 46.2% to 44.8%.

The president had fallen behind his challenger in the once-reliably-red state but has whittled down Biden’s lead to within the margin of error in the RealClearPolitics polling average, which now places the presumptive Democratic nominee ahead of Trump by just 2.2 points.

Another Arizona poll also released Monday, this one by OH Predictive Insights, showed Biden up 49% to 45% among registered voters. But it was the third survey by that firm showing the president shrinking the deficit. In May, the same firm found Trump trailing by seven points.

“Arizona has absolutely earned its battleground status,” OH Predictive Insights’ chief of research, Mike Noble, told a local news outlet when the latest poll numbers were released.
