Arizona Republicans poised to nominate anti-abortion candidate for governor

According to the results of a poll released Monday, more than half of voters in Arizona oppose the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on June 24 that overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision affirming a constitutional right to abortion.

The poll, conducted July 5-15 by OH Predictive Insights, found that 45% of registered voters in the state strongly oppose the Supreme Court's move.

Despite the poll's findings, Republicans in Arizona are poised to nominate a gubernatorial candidate on Aug. 2 who opposes abortion rights in nearly all cases.

Both of the frontrunners seeking the GOP nomination — former TV news anchor Kari Lake and businesswoman Karrin Taylor Robson — cheered the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs.
