How do we feel about President Trump? How different are our answers when we’re asked to rate him based on his immigration policies versus his economic policies?

Do we, the voters of Arizona, think undocumented people should be deported any time they commit any crime — or do we feel differently when the type of crime is taken into consideration?

What do we think of Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs? And how does she stack up against her likely Republican opponents, Andy Biggs and Karrin Taylor Robson, in next year’s gubernatorial race?

My guest this week on the AZ Political Podcast is Mike Noble — and he’s all about answering hard questions like these.

Mike Noble talks public opinion on AZ Political Podcast?

The founder of Noble Predictive Insights uses the science of polling to bring us hard truth, statistical answers to these (and other) questions. Answers which should cause some partisans to sit up and pay attention — if they hope to win upcoming elections.

Warning: There could be some answers in the podcast that frustrate you — because sometimes it’s hard to hear that a large portion of your fellow Arizonans don’t view issues with the same importance or urgency that you do.

But either way, it’s always interesting to learn the truth about other people’s truth (otherwise known as their opinion). And while feelings aren’t facts, it’s fascinating to know the facts about their feelings.

The AZ Political Podcast is available at KTAR.com, the KTAR News app and everywhere you get your podcasts.

Biggs should be under federal indictment, not campaigning.

Considering that it’s mostly name-recognition at this point, Andy Biggs should be well ahead. Maybe some dissatisfaction among the Republicans there?

I don’t think that the Dem primary or the general election is affected at all.
