I think a variety of reasons. Hobbs is a decent administrator, but doesn't communicate well. I believe that was her biggest issue in 2022's election and why it was so close. Then there was an immigration issue in Arizona that got effectively pinned on Democrats. Arizona also has a significant unhoused problem that got tied to immigration, even though few in the homeless encampments are Latino. Crime has also been hyped even though statistically it's down. That being said, I was robbed at 4am in our backyard this summer with a knife to my throat, so I find it hard to say it's not a problem. If my standard poodle didn't take a chunk out of the guy's leg, I'm not sure how it would have ended.
I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. I'm glad you're still with us. I'd be curious to see what H2Hs look like in a year with Yee or other potential Republicans.
Any particular reasons Hobbs is highly unpopular?

Is there any actual evidence that she is unpopular? The few recent polls we had were at worst mixed.
