Presidential Election Characteristics
· Arizona was the most loyal Republican presidential state in the second half of the 20th century, backing every GOP nominee from 1952 through 2016 except Bob Dole in 1996, who was dragged out of the top spot by Ross Perot, who almost cost George H.W. Bush the state in 1992.
· Arizona is the only state to never back a Democrat between 1952 and 1992; Maricopa County, the dominant voting center, backed every · Republican from 1952 through 2016 including Dole.
· Republican strength has traditionally been suburban and centered on Maricopa County, while former Democrat counties, such as Pinal, are now trending heavily Republican. Donald Trump’s gains in both Maricopa County and statewide were all time Republican single cycle growth records, making his dubious loss even more unbelievable.
