Catholic Vote President Brian Burch said a new poll showing former President Donald Trump leading President Biden by four points in Arizona is the result of voters being unhappy with the "economic hardship" caused by Biden and Democrats in the U.S. Senate.

“The Biden presidency and Democrat-led U.S. Senate has caused economic hardship for Arizona families and the polling data shows that voters are unhappy,” Burch told Grand Canyon Times. “While the numbers look good for Republicans, there is a great deal of political groundwork that still must get done to insure those responsible for the disastrous policies are thrown out of office.”

Trump leads Biden 46 to 42 percent in a two-way race, according to the poll released yesterday by the League of American Workers (LAW). The former president is ahead of Biden 37 to 33 percent in a four-way race in which Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (I), who is at 18 percent, and Cornell West (G), who is at 2 percent, are on the ballot.

Biden and Trump both won enough state primaries last week to become the presumptive nominees of their respective parties, setting up a rematch of the 2020 election, in which Biden won by receiving 302 electoral votes. Neither candidate received more than 50% of the vote in Arizona in 2020, with Biden receiving 49.36% of the vote to Trump's 49.06%, reported the Grand Canyon Times.

Almost four years later, 59 percent of Arizona voters disapprove of the job Biden is doing on the economy, according to the LAW poll results. Those results are almost identical to the president’s 60 percent disapproval rating in LAW’s November 2023 Arizona poll. 

The survey released by LAW was conducted among 600 likely Arizona voters on March 14-17, 2024 by North Star Public Opinion Research. 

Founded in 2022 by political strategist and commentator Steve Cortes, LAW conducts research and develops proposals on public policies impacting American workers and the economy.
