Recent polling averages place Democratic incumbent Katie Hobbs ahead of Republican challenger Andy Biggs by roughly 7-8 points among likely voters, with October surveys ranging from 4 to 13 points. This positioning concentrates trader probability on Hobbs margins of 6-12 points. Early voting data shows a pronounced Hobbs advantage among those who have already cast ballots, while remaining voters appear more competitive. Incumbency, superior fundraising, and independent voter support have sustained the lead, though some Republican-commissioned polls indicate tighter results and late shifts in turnout could narrow the final spread. Forecasters have moved the race toward likely Democratic status in the final week before November 3.
