Interesting, you keep using non-AZ statistics to bolster an argument about the AZ electorate.

Let me know when you come up with some arguments based on relevant data.

Until then, you are wrong.

“Amid a backdrop of persistent political partisanship among our representatives at state and national levels, a clear supermajority of Arizona voters is calling for bipartisan solutions,” stated Paul Bentz, Senior Vice President of Research & Strategy at HighGround, who conducted the survey on behalf of CFA. “The national and local impasse among candidates and elected leaders is not reflective of the views of Arizonans who want to reach a consensus on this crucial issue."

The middle/centrist vote is alive and well here. You keep asserting, without proof, that the "middle" doesn't exist. But it does here in Arizona, and we have the data to back it up.

If you want to respond to this in a way that I'll recognize as valid, I'll need to see some actual numbers - and recent numbers at that. Anything from prior to the pandemic is likely to be less reliable after all the migration into the state.
