At G Ratings, we conducted a statewide survey to measure electoral preferences and the political climate in Arizona ahead of the 2026 general election.

The September measurement shows Katie Hobbs with 46.5% of voting preference, while Andy Biggs registers 39.7%.

The study also records Risa Lombardo at 1.5%, Teri Ann Hourihan at 1.1%, and 11.2% for Other/Undecided.

These results represent the preferences expressed by respondents during the fieldwork period and provide a snapshot of Arizona’s electoral environment in September 2026.

G Ratings presents voting preferences for Arizona governor

At G Ratings, we surveyed Arizona residents to learn how they would vote if the 2026 general election for governor were held at the time of the study.

The results were:

1. Katie Hobbs: 46.5%
2. Andy Biggs: 39.7%
3. Risa Lombardo: 1.5%
4. Teri Ann Hourihan: 1.1%

The measurement shows the distribution of voting preferences recorded during the survey period. The figures should be interpreted as a snapshot of public opinion at that specific moment and not as a prediction of the final election result.

These figures provide additional context about the political composition of respondents participating in the September measurement.

G Ratings surveyed 750 Arizona residents

At G Ratings, we conducted fieldwork between September 18 and September 23, 2026, obtaining 750 completed questionnaires.

The survey population consisted of adults age 18 and older residing in Arizona who declared that they met the eligibility criteria to participate in United States electoral processes.

During the study, participants confirmed that they were registered to vote and intended to participate in the upcoming election.

The sample used a non-probability design balanced according to relevant demographic and geographic variables, including gender, age group, region, education level and ethnicity.

Data collection was conducted through self-administered digital questionnaires accessible on mobile devices and computers. The survey was administered in English.

Odysseus supports the G Ratings research process

At G Ratings, we used Odysseus, a technological platform developed by G Ratings by GobernArte S.C., which incorporates algorithmic models designed to maintain a distribution consistent with reference population parameters.

Access to Odysseus was restricted to adults age 18 and older. Respondents were also screened to confirm voter registration status and their intention to participate in the upcoming election.

Quality controls were implemented during fieldwork to validate response consistency and exclude incomplete or atypical interviews.

For the sample of 750 completed questionnaires, the study reports a theoretical margin of error between ±3.5% and ±5%, assuming a 95% confidence level and simple random sampling.

Because the study uses a non-probability design, this margin should be interpreted as an approximate statistical reference rather than an exact estimate of total study error.

At G Ratings, we present these findings as a measurement of Arizona voter opinion during the September 2026 fieldwork period. Electoral preferences and public priorities may change as the election process develops.
