The survey, conducted by HighGround Public Affairs, \u200dhighlights that the \u200bmargin \u2062falls \u200cwithin the error threshold of\u2062 approximately 4.38%. Notably, about 8.8% of respondents were undecided, and 5.2% indicated support for other candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Harris&#8217;s campaign has \u200cinitiated &#8220;Republicans\u200c for Harris&#8221; in an effort to \u200battract disenchanted Republican voters, with 7.4% of likely\u200d GOP voters expressing their intention to support her. Conversely, Trump has managed to secure a small \u200bcrossover \u200bof support from Democrats, receiving \u2062backing\u2064 from 3.5% of that electorate. The poll \u2062further reveals higher support for Harris among Democrats, with 86% indicating they would vote for her compared to 79% for Trump among Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Experts suggest that the dynamic \u200din Arizona reflects\u200d broader patterns seen in past elections, where the Republican base may not be sufficiently broad to secure victory.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris holds slight edge over Trump among Arizona voters: Poll<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1726250\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A new statewide poll is showing Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kamala Harris\">Kamala Harris<\/a> with a slight lead over former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"President Donald Trump\">President Donald Trump<\/a> in Arizona as she prepares to campaign in the Grand Canyon state with her running mate, Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tim-walz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Tim Walz\">Tim Walz<\/a> (D-MN), on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/azhighground.com\/democrats-take-early-top-of-the-ticket-lead-following-arizonas-primary-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>HighGround Public Affairs survey<\/a>, which came out Thursday, found that Harris holds 44.4% while Trump holds 41.6%, which is within the survey&rsquo;s margin of error of plus or minus 4.38%.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>About 8.8% of respondents did not know or refused to answer, while about 5.2% said they would support a different candidate in November.<\/p>\n<p>The Harris campaign<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3114629\/republicans-harris-john-mccain-battleground-arizona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> recently launched<\/a> <em>Republicans for Harris<\/em> in an effort to reach and mobilize Republican voters who do not support Trump.

As she gears up to campaign in the state alongside her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), the HighGround Public Affairs survey, released on Thursday, shows Harris at 44.4% and Trump at 41.6%. This difference falls within the poll&#8217;s margin of error of plus or minus 4.38%. Approximately 8.8% of participants were unsure or declined to answer, while around 5.2% indicated they would support another candidate in November.<\/p>\n<p>The Harris campaign has recently initiated &#8220;Republicans for Harris&#8221; to engage Republican voters who do not back Trump. The poll results suggest that she is already appealing to some Republican voters in Arizona, with 7.4% of likely GOP respondents expressing their intention to support her. Conversely, Trump also garners some Democratic support; about 3.5% of Democrats said they would vote for him.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck Coughlin, president and CEO of HighGround, noted in an interview with the Washington Examiner that while Harris is attracting nearly 10% of Republicans\u2014significant votes\u2014it also detracts from Trump&#8217;s support.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, more Democrats expressed their willingness to back Harris than Republicans did for Trump: approximately 86% of Democrats favor Harris compared to 79% of Republicans who favor Trump.
