Earlier this week, we released results from our annual survey of Arizona voters. The survey, conducted in November, asked 800 likely 2026 general election voters about their thoughts on a variety of policies affecting everyday Arizonans, ranging from public schools and early childhood to inflation and tariffs. Here are the results that stood out most to our team. The poll found support from 66% of Arizonans for investing at least $3.4 million in 9th Grade On-Track. Of that, more than half (39%) support increasing funding to $15 million to expand the program to every high school. This support was bipartisan in nature with 50% of Republicans and 84% of Democrats supporting at least $3.4 million.
