    Election day is next week, and many Arizonans have already cast their ballots by mail. Trump and Harris will be in the state later this week to make their closing arguments to Arizona voters for campaign events on Halloween.

    Although October is an eventful month for politics, a survey by Marist College found that the race remained largely unchanged from September to October. Trump maintained his sharp lead last month, and voters’ views of each candidate remained the same.

    Harris has support from nearly two-thirds of Native American voters in Arizona, as both campaigns support tribal votes, according to a new poll commissioned by Northern Arizona University and the Democrat-led Citizens for New Arizona PAC.

    Among these voters, Harris received 64 percent support and Trump 29 percent. More than half of voters, 57 percent, said they believe Harris and Democrats “care a lot” about the Native American community, while only 23 percent said the same about Trump. Additionally, 22 percent said Trump and Republicans were “hostile” toward their community.

    Native American voters named the economy and inflation as the most important issues this election cycle, mirroring voters in statewide Arizona polls.

BSP co-founder Matt Baretto is serving as a pollster for the Harris campaign. Former Rep. Karan English, D-Ariz., is a member of the board of directors of the Citizens of New Arizona PAC.

    The poll found that Native Americans overwhelmingly (90%) support the federal government issuing a public apology and “acknowledging the horrific history of Indian Residential Schools.”

    59 percent said they would view the Biden administration more favorably if officials traveled to Indian Country in Arizona to acknowledge this history and apologize, while 29% said it would have no impact.

    The survey surveyed 400 Native American voters across Arizona from Oct. 19-23. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.9%.
