Republican Registration in Arizona Skyrockets, Showing Where Trump Stands Against Biden

As Republican voters have learned, to their dismay, party affiliation does not always matter when it comes to elected representatives. In Congress, for instance, “Republican” and “Democrat” often convey little more than the illusion of difference.

For gauging the electorate’s mood, however, voter registrations — particularly when measured in the tens of thousands — can prove useful.

According to statistics provided by the Arizona Secretary of State, registered Republicans now outnumber registered Democrats in the anticipated swing state by a margin of 242,777.

A total of 1,434,982 Arizona voters have registered as Republicans as of this month compared with 1,192,205 Democrats. That gives Republicans an overall advantage of nearly 6 percent (35.36 percent to 29.38 percent).

For comparison’s sake, according to the Arizona Free Enterprise Club, on Election Day 2022, the GOP held an advantage of roughly 166,000 registered voters. And in 2020, the Republican advantage stood at roughly 130,000.

Of course, independent voters often swing elections one way or the other.

In 2020, for instance, despite the Republican advantage, Arizona certified its election for Joe Biden. Fewer than 11,000 votes separated Biden and then-President Donald Trump, according to the official results.

A 2020 CNN exit poll showed that Arizona’s independents broke for Biden over Trump, 53 percent to 44 percent.

Likewise, regardless of party affiliation, self-described “moderates” overwhelmingly favored the Democratic nominee, 67 percent to 32 percent.

Will Trump win Arizona in November?

In other words, the vast middle of the Arizona electorate helped deliver the current tragicomic spectacle of a Biden administration.

On that front, however, the new voter registration data brought more good news for the GOP.

Republicans now hold a 65,000-voter advantage over independents, according to the state’s registration totals.

Coupled with the net gain of more than 110,000 registered Republicans compared with Democrats since 2020, that likely spells good news for Trump in this fall’s electoral rematch with Biden.

Furthermore, voter registrations supported recent polling data.

According to the latest RealClearPolling average of polls — all conducted since March 7 — Trump holds a solid 5-point lead over Biden in Arizona. That included a Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll from early April that showed the Republican with a 7-point lead.

By contrast, an early April poll from KSTP/SurveyUSA showed Biden with a narrow 2-point lead in Minnesota.

Yet RealClearPolling lists Arizona among its expected battleground states while excluding Minnesota. In 2020, the Gopher State certified a 7-point Biden victory over Trump, 52.4 percent to 45.3 percent, which could explain the prominent polling aggregator’s reluctance to move Minnesota into the battleground category.

Finally, Arizona was not alone in delivering good news on the voter registration front.

In Florida, for instance, the Republican advantage over Democrats has reached nearly 900,000. Biden’s delusions to the contrary notwithstanding, that former battleground state now appears to be solid red.

On the whole, while it remains difficult to draw definitive conclusions from either voter registrations or polling data, the combination of the two certainly paints a bright red picture in Arizona.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
