33 Arizonians filled out Constituent Service Requests. We send completed CSRs to Democratic elected officials responsible for the requested functions, but if the appropriate office is held by a Republican, we still send it along. For Democrats, though, we encourage them to reach out immediately to the voter who filled out the Constituent Service Request forms and let them know they are working on the issue. This credit-taking is enormously valuable to the Democratic office-holder. 1 voter filled out an Incident Report.

18% of the voters we talked to said they approved of the job that Trump was doing. 42% disapproved. There is no senate race next year in Arizona, but we are asking about job approval for the Republican Members of Congress in these 2 districts. 5% approved and 37% disapproved. 45% approved of the job Gov. Hobbs is doing while 6% disapproved.

We ask voters if they plan to vote in the special and a number say they are planning on it. We’ve been asking those who said they did if they had a plan on how/when they will vote. More people than we expect to turn out say they will vote, which we expect to have a low turnout. Regardless, we ask those who say they will vote in the special who they plan to support. On Saturday, 31% of the voters who said they planned to vote in the special election said they’d support the Democrat. Many of these did not know who the Democrat was (Josh Weil), but they knew they would vote for the D. On Sunday, 25% said they would vote for Weil.
