This month, the latest Voter Registration Report was released for the State of Arizona, showing that Democrats lost 10,921 voters from their rolls from January to April. Democrats actually failed to produce a net gain of voters in any of Arizona’s 15 counties, while Republicans had a net gain in seven counties.
The Democrats’ losses were especially high in Maricopa County (-5,121) and Pima County (-2,555).
“Arizona voters sent a strong message to Democrats in the November 2024 General Election, that they wanted the major political parties to work together to restore security, prosperity, and opportunity to our state and nation,” said AZGOP Chair Gina Swoboda. “Instead of heeding that message and working with Republicans to better the lives of people in our state, Arizona Democrats have nominated themselves to become President Donald J. Trump’s chief antagonists. We need look no further than Governor Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes for two examples of this blind partisan obstruction to President Trump’s efforts.
“April’s numbers show that Republicans’ rural county registration advantages are growing as we work to clean voter rolls in the counties of Maricopa and Pima. Republicans will continue to earn the trust of Arizona voters in the months ahead as we work alongside President Trump to make Arizona and America Great Again,” concluded Swaboda.
The Democratic Party’s favorability rating among Americans stands at a record low, according to a CNN poll conducted in mid-March.
Democrats and Democratic-aligned independents say, 57% to 42%, that Democrats should mainly work to stop the Republican agenda, rather than working with the GOP majority to get some Democratic ideas into legislation, according to CNN.
“Independents continue to gain in strength and both parties need to pay attention to that,” said Constantin Querard, a Republican consultant based in Arizona. “But it is a good sign for Republicans that the GOP brand continues to gain strength, both in rural counties and especially statewide versus the Democrat brand. The last few years have been rough for Arizona Democrats and these registration trends are more of the same, which could really matter in 2026.”
