Opinion: Tired of candidates tired mudslinging and sounds bites? Voters should ask these six questions before casting a ballot.
What we found might surprise you. Voters agree on much more than they disagree about important issues facing our state, and they are not nearly as polarized as pundits would have you believe.Three polls we’ve commissioned over the past decade, the most recent this spring, show that Arizonans are generally pragmatic, not dogmatic; and they want solutions to Arizona’s challenges, not soundbites.
Our survey found that 38% of voters will choose candidates based on their position on the issues and 27% based on whether they have clear plans or solutions. That’s two-thirds of the voters who are more interested in policy than ideology.Some argue that a faulty primary system is the root cause of tone-deaf candidates and lopsided election outcomes that don’t represent the views of the majority of Arizonans.
