New poll places Hobbs ahead of Biggs in Arizona governor race

Key takeaways

  • FOX 10 Phoenix reports that Hobbs leads Biggs in a new poll.
  • No polling percentages were supplied.
  • Survey dates, sample size and margin of error were not provided.
  • No candidate policy positions were included.
  • The poll does not determine the 2026 election result.

What the report says

A FOX 10 Phoenix report, available through the supplied Google News link, says a new poll places Hobbs ahead of Biggs in the 2026 Arizona governor’s race. No vote-share percentages, number of respondents, survey dates or margin of error were included in the information provided to The Ballot.

That means the central development is limited but clear: Hobbs was ahead of Biggs in the poll described by the report. The available information does not show how large the difference was, whether other candidates or choices were tested, or how many voters were undecided.

The poll is one piece of information about the contest, not an election result. Arizona voters will decide the race through the state’s election process in 2026.

What the poll says about Hobbs

For Hobbs, the reported finding is that she held the lead over Biggs in this poll. The supplied material does not provide a percentage for Hobbs, so it is not possible to state her exact level of support or compare it with a particular benchmark.

No policy positions for Hobbs were included with the source material. The Ballot therefore cannot use this report to explain why respondents selected her, which issues may have influenced her result or how her support varied among groups of voters.

The report also does not provide earlier poll results for Hobbs. Without that information, this finding cannot establish whether her measured support increased, decreased or remained steady over time.

What the poll says about Biggs

For Biggs, the reported finding is that he trailed Hobbs in this poll. The supplied material does not provide a percentage for Biggs, so it is not possible to state his exact level of support or compare it with a particular benchmark.

No policy positions for Biggs were included with the source material. The Ballot therefore cannot use this report to explain why respondents selected him, which issues may have influenced his result or how his support varied among groups of voters.

The report also does not provide earlier poll results for Biggs. Without that information, this finding cannot establish whether his measured support increased, decreased or remained steady over time.

Details needed to assess the finding

Several pieces of information normally help voters understand a poll. These include who conducted and paid for it, when the survey was conducted, how respondents were contacted, how many people participated and which voters were included. The exact question wording and margin of error also provide important context.

None of those details appeared in the information supplied for this brief. Their absence does not change the reported order of Hobbs and Biggs, but it limits what can responsibly be concluded from the finding. In particular, the available material does not support a claim about the size, durability or cause of Hobbs’s lead over Biggs.

What comes next

Future public information may provide the poll’s full results and methods. Additional election records could also clarify the candidate field and the steps Arizona voters will follow in the 2026 governor election.

Until those details are available, the narrow takeaway is that the poll cited by FOX 10 Phoenix placed Hobbs ahead of Biggs. It does not determine the outcome of the 2026 election, and the supplied information offers no basis for predicting one.

What to watch

  • Release of the poll’s full results and methodology
  • Official records clarifying the 2026 candidate field
  • Additional information about Arizona’s 2026 election process
