Joe Biden holds a narrow lead in Arizona, according to polls, aided by pandemic upheaval and demographic shifts years in the making. But don't count the president out yet, some say.

“He’s not accepting responsibility,” said Vroom, who lives in Sun City, Arizona, outside Phoenix. “He doesn’t talk about the vulnerability of people in our age, 65 and older, group, even though he is part of that group,” he added., a battleground state that a Democratic presidential candidate hasn’t carried since Bill Clinton in 1996, where polling reveals voters overall have an unfavorable view of the president's handling of the crisis.

But Trump’s electoral problems aren’t limited to older people worried about the health ramifications of Covid-19. Conversations with voters, current and former lawmakers, strategists and politics-watchers in the state reveal he's lost major ground with suburbanites and women — two critical groups he would need to limit his losses with if he wants to carry the state.

Those changes have nonetheless been gradual, experts told NBC News, and Democrats have been targeting Arizona and its 11 Electoral College votes since 2012 as a prime pickup opportunity in presidential elections. But this year, a match was lit that has accelerated Arizona’s blueward shift: the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The shifts are real, but it’s the Covid crisis that is the issue that is driving people to vote against Trump,” said former GOP Rep. Jim Kolbe. “That is the issue that allows people to clearly see the failure of the Trump administration and of Trump himself.” “His response has been miserable, and I think most people in Arizona — old people, young people, Hispanic people, women — recognize that,” Kolbe added.“Minus Covid, this particularly close race here doesn’t happen this year,” he said.

Does everybody realize if you read Biden tax plan his plan is to tax you on your house at 3% of its value this is above your property tax. Plus families making $50k or more, your taxes up $7,800 over 10 year period. plus the loss of $750 a year from the repealing trumps tax cut

Bullshit

Come on AZ! Vote to bring our Nation back together.

MSNBC CNN seriously, how much does JoeBiden pay you guys for creating useless opinion noise? There's no news on these feeds.

Fake news

Don’t vote for Trump. The Killer of thousands of Americans. What would he do in a real war, i.e., The Russians are invading and Trump says, “Oh they are just visiting and will go back very quickly like you have never seen before.

Boy a ton of people are gonna be butthurt Nov. 4 😂😂😂

Not all Arizonans. stoplivinginfear

why NBC? why? dont count out trump yet, 'some say'? WTF! Biden does not need Arizona to win- trump does and trump is down in about 9 other must win states as well including Texas! and people are voting so hopefully no repeat of 2016 yet here you are with this stupid article

LOL November 3 will always be known as the day of the red blanket that saved America from international criminals.

Blue wave will wipe out the red poison. No more deaths. No more lies. Biden./ Harris. Captain Mark Kelly 2020

It happening! AZ is gonna do the right thing and Vote Biden/Harris...suburban Mom's and Hispanics are tired of Trump's BS.

I'm not counting the chickens before they hatch. I think you'll probably lose Pennsylvania and Arizona. I voted for Joe Biden keep voting

Bye Bye Biden!!

The Ever-Growing List of Trump’s Most Racist Rants! The president’s remarks about Black protesters and coronavirus during a campaign rally in Tulsa are just the latest examples...

How desperate the media and Democrats must be to attack an outsider to American democracy. Y’all must have a lot to hide

Another NBC Biden campaign ad. Our media is shit. Time to WalkAwayFromDemocrats

Yeah, Biden better work hard in AZ. HARD. Kelly can't carry the state for him. Don't conflate the lack of enthusiasm over McSally with Trump. Biden has to really work AZ.
