PHOENIX, Ariz. – A new Noble Predictive Insights poll reported by FOX 10 Phoenix shows Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs leading Republican challenger Representative Andy Biggs, 48% to 35%, among likely voters in the 2026 governor’s race. A notable share of voters remain undecided, making the survey a snapshot of current sentiment rather than a prediction of the final outcome. Campaigns, debates, policy discussions, and voter participation could still reshape the contest.
Hobbs is seeking another term, while Biggs, a Republican congressman and prominent figure in Arizona politics, is expected to present his own vision and priorities for the state as the campaign develops. In the months ahead, Arizona voters will weigh the candidates’ positions on issues affecting families, communities, and businesses.
For Christians, the early polling is also a reminder that political landscapes can shift quickly. Believers are encouraged to remain informed and engaged while placing their ultimate trust in God rather than political leaders or election results. Psalm 146:3 cautions, “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Government can significantly influence society, but no human leader can provide the ultimate hope and security found in God.
Christians Encouraged to Pray for Wisdom and Leadership
As the campaign develops, Christians are encouraged to pray for both candidates and those currently serving in government. In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, Paul urges believers to offer prayers and intercession for those in authority, regardless of political agreement, seeking God’s wisdom and guidance for leaders and communities.
Christians may differ over candidates, policies, and political parties, but Scripture calls believers to approach disagreements with humility, truth, and love. James 1:5 teaches that those who lack wisdom should ask God, who gives generously. As voters consider the information presented throughout the campaign, they can seek discernment not only in evaluating candidates and policies but also in carefully considering the facts and claims that shape public debate.
Hope Beyond the Election
Polls and campaigns can change, and the outcome will remain uncertain until voters cast their ballots. Although political developments can shape communities and public policy, Christians remember that earthly governments are temporary while God’s authority is eternal. As Psalm 20:7 declares, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.”
As Arizona voters continue following the race between Hobbs and Biggs, Christians can participate responsibly in civic life while remaining rooted in God. Regardless of future polling shifts or the final result, believers are encouraged to pursue truth, pray for leaders, and engage politically with wisdom, humility, and discernment.
