In Arizona, polls indicate a tie between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Last week, Planet Chronicle Digital reported that while many locals listed the economy and immigration as their top concerns when deciding which box to tick, others believed that democracy itself is at stake.

"The orange man, referred to as a disparaging nickname for Trump, is the biggest thing, according to Mary in Phoenix. She stated that we can't tolerate him anymore as he is a doctor of chaos and is ruining our country. Trump needs to go."

In Tempe, Bob expressed a similar viewpoint to Planet Chronicle Digital, stating that "democracy is the most crucial" matter on the ballot this year.

Trump is attempting to win back Arizona from the Democrats after losing it to Joe Biden in 2020. This marks the first time since 1996 that a Democrat has won the state.

"Michael remarked that he believed the economy was in a better state during the former president's last visit, as gas prices were lower and overall costs were cheaper."

He stated that the economy is his top priority as it influences your daily life.

"Prices for rent, food, and gas have been increasing since Biden took office, Greg stated."

Tea stated to Planet Chronicle Digital in Tempe that inflation is the primary concern for everyone. She explained that she frequently visits the grocery store to cut back on expenses and make difficult decisions about what to purchase. With prices rising rapidly, she is constantly questioning whether she can afford certain items.

In a recent nationwide Planet Chronicle Poll, immigration, the economy, and abortion were the top issues for voters. Trump was preferred on immigration and the economy, while Harris excelled on the issue of abortion, according to the poll.

Bob accused food companies and corporate "b----rds" of raising prices beyond inflation, and he didn't hesitate to say which presidential candidate would be better for the economy when asked.

"Kamala, Kamala, Kamala!" he exclaimed. "The wealthy have been enjoying tax cuts while shirking their responsibilities, and the Supreme Court has been stripping away the rights of government agencies that regulate things. We must restore balance and Kamala will do that by appointing more responsible judges instead of putting Federalist judges in power."

Immigration is Brian's top concern because it has a ripple effect on "almost every issue," including the economy.

He stated that the economy is at a risky point and could deteriorate significantly in the next four years if additional funds are allocated towards external conflicts.
