PHOENIX (KPNX) Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and former television anchor Kari Lake are the top Democratic and Republican candidates leading in the state s 2022 gubernatorial race, recent polling numbers show.
Voters have pegged Hobbs and Lake as the early front-runners in the competitive race to replace Gov. Doug Ducey next year, according to polling data collected by OH Predictive Insights, a nonpartisan research firm.
The survey polled 863 registered Arizona voters during the first week of July, asking which of the eight declared gubernatorial candidates they favor most.
About 40% of respondents had either a somewhat or very favorable opinion of Hobbs, who became Arizona s first Democratic secretary of state since 1995 after her electoral victory three years ago.
