Arizona Swing Voters Back Trump, Musk's Actions, Reject Hobbs

Recent focus groups conducted by Engagious/Sago revealed that Arizona swing voters, who switched from supporting Joe Biden in 2020 to Donald Trump in 2024, overwhelmingly approve of Trump's aggressive executive actions and Elon Musk's cost-cutting measures. All 11 participants expressed satisfaction with Trump's approach, viewing it as necessary to 'get America back on track,' and largely dismissed concerns over potential legal challenges to his decisions. While there was some disagreement regarding Trump's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, participants generally supported his domestic policy initiatives, particularly regarding immigration and government efficiency. The focus group also indicated a lack of support for Governor Katie Hobbs' re-election, with most respondents expressing disappointment in her performance. The group's favorable view of both Trump and Musk suggests a significant shift in public sentiment that could impact future elections. Overall, these findings illustrate a growing discontent with traditional Democratic messaging among former Biden voters in Arizona.
