The Hill: Arizona shifts towards Biden

[ffr]

A new Monmouth University survey shows the former vice president leading impeached pResident tRump 48 to 44 percent. On top of that, a Kaiser Family Foundation and Cook Political Report poll showed Biden with a five point lead in the state, prompting Cook to shift the state’s status from “toss-up” to “lean Democratic.”

So what's driving Biden’s lead in Arizona?

Well, it starts with the critical Latino voting bloc. Biden leads impeached tRump with Latino voters 63 percent to 33 percent, though Clinton won the state’s Latino vote by around the same margin and still lost the state to impeached tRump.

But, Biden also holds a significant lead in Maricopa County, home to the greater Phoenix area, which Clinton lost by 3 points. - The GOP rag that is The Hill

1. Maricopa County is usually the largest metropolitan area a Republican candidate for President wins

If Trump is bleeding in the suburbs I don't see how Trump can win Maricopa County and if he doesn't win Maricopa County I don't see how he wins Arizona.

2. Hillary lost Maricopa to voter suppression via line. Beware this year's tactics.

I hope people there have done something / are doing something, to fight the many forms of voter suppression -- especially voter suppression through polling place closures and allocation of inadequate resources in "certain areas.

3. Vote Save America is zeroing in on Arizona

That group was started by the ex Obama staff who started the Pod Save America podcast and offshoots. Their Vote Save America effort is here where anyone can join and adopt a state to support local Dem gotv organizations.

They're zeroing in on six key states which includes Arizona.
