Donald Trump has just jumped to an eight-point lead over Joe Biden in the key state of Arizona, according to new polls.
Arizona has been at the center of controversy, especially among people on the right, since election night in 2020, when FOX News called the state early for Biden while people could still have voted.
Trump won the state in 2016 and the state has been reliably red since 2000.
Breitbart News reports:
Poll: Donald Trump opens eight-point lead in Arizona
Former President Donald Trump has built an eight-point lead over President Joe Biden in a hypothetical five-way presidential race in Arizona, according to an AARP/Fabrizio Ward/Impact Research poll.
The survey shows that Trump has 45 percent support among likely voters in Arizona, putting him comfortably in the lead. Biden is in second place with 37 percent of the response, followed by independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by 11 percent.
From there, Jill Stein of the Green Party comes in at three percent, while Libertarian Chase Oliver receives no support. Another four percent of the 600 likely voter respondents are undecided.
The poll also focused on a sample of 800 likely voters aged 50 and older, finding Trump with a 52 to 43 percent lead over Biden on deeper ground.
The poll was conducted before and after Trump was convicted in the Manhattan business filing case on May 30. The field dates are May 28 to June 4, 2024, and the margin of error is ± four percent for the 600 likely voters and ± 3.5 percent. for the sample of strictly 50 years and older.
These numbers look very good for Trump.

Hopefully FOX News will be a little more careful about calling the state this year.
