Clinton now holds a 5-point lead Trump in the presidential race in Arizona

PHOENIX (PRWEB) OCTOBER 19, 2016 Hillary Clinton now holds a 5-point lead over Donald Trump in the presidential race for Arizona’s 11 electoral votes, with many still undecided, according to the latest statewide poll released today by The Arizona Republic and Arizona State University. In addition, Sen. John McCain, campaigning for his sixth term in the Senate, holds a substantial lead over Democratic challenger Ann Kirkpatrick. The poll — a joint project between The Arizona Republic and ASU’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy and Cronkite News, the news division of Arizona PBS — shows Clinton, the Democratic nominee, leading Trump 39 to 33.9 percent among likely voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 percentage points. The Arizona Republic/Morrison/Cronkite News Poll has 20.7 percent of the state still undecided and Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson at 5.9 percent and Green Party nominee Jill Stein at 0.5 percent. When undecided voters were asked which candidate they were leaning toward, the total numbers changed to Clinton at 43.3 percent, Trump at 37.8, Johnson at 6.5, Stein at 4.3 and 8.1 percent still undecided. That question had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. This is the second poll to be released by The Arizona Republic and ASU in the past six weeks. The first showed Clinton leading Trump, 35.1 to 33.5 percent (+/‐ 3.3). “Even as core supporters of either Trump or Clinton remain firmly in place, the poll shows movement that is keeping Arizona in play,” said Thom Reilly, director of Morrison Institute for Public Policy at ASU. “Both undecideds as well as those abandoning Johnson and Stein appear to be breaking toward Clinton. The question is whether Arizona’s electorate could be shifting or whether we are just witnessing the results of this unique campaign.” As Clinton and Trump enter the final presidential debate tonight, the new poll shows that two thirds of registered voters in Arizona said they were not influenced by the debates. Of the respondents, 67.1 percent (+/‐ 4.3) said the debate did not influence them. Of those who indicated the debate was influential, 16.5 percent said they were more likely to vote for Clinton and 9.2 percent for Trump. The poll also continues to show voters in Arizona see both Clinton and Trump in an unfavorable light, with 55.8 percent describing Clinton as either “unfavorable” or “very unfavorable.” Trump received a slightly higher response, with 62.5 percent describing him as either “unfavorable” or “very unfavorable.” Clinton — Very Favorable: 11.8 percent, Favorable: 27.1 percent, Unfavorable: 24.3 percent, Very Unfavorable: 31.5 percent, Don’t Know/Refused: 5.2 percent (+/‐ 3.9) Trump — Very Favorable: 12.9 percent, Favorable: 19 percent, Unfavorable: 21.8 percent, Very Unfavorable: 40.7 percent, Don’t Know/Refused: 5.6 percent (+/‐ 3.8) In comparison to the poll six weeks ago, Clinton’s un-favorability rating among Arizona voters decreased by 3.2 points, while Trump’s un-favorability rating increased by 2.5 points. The most recent poll also looked at President Barack Obama’s favorability. A majority of registered voters, 55.5 percent, saw the outgoing president as either “very favorable” or “favorable.” Obama — Very Favorable: 23.3 percent, Favorable: 32.2 percent, Unfavorable: 21.1 percent, Very Unfavorable: 20.8 percent, Don’t Know/Refused: 2.6 percent (+/‐ 3.6) U.S. Senate Race The new poll also looks at the U.S. Senate race in Arizona between Democratic challenger Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick and Republican incumbent Sen. John McCain. The poll showed McCain leading Kirkpatrick by 11 points among registered voters, 51.5 to 40 percent, with 8.5 percent planning to vote for someone else (+/‐ 3.7). Opinions on Kirkpatrick were evenly split at 40.4 percent between both “very favorable/favorable” and “unfavorable/very unfavorable.” Arizonans’ opinions on McCain were positive, with 50.4 percent describing him as either “very favorable” or “favorable.” Kirkpatrick — Very Favorable: 3.9 percent, Favorable: 36.5 percent, Unfavorable: 32.9 percent, Very Unfavorable: 7.5 percent, Don’t Know/Refused: 19.3percent (+/‐ 4) McCain — Very Favorable: 6 percent, Favorable: 44.4 percent, Unfavorable: 31.6 percent, Very Unfavorable: 7.8 percent, Don’t Know/Refused: 10.2 percent (+/‐ 4.2) Both candidates’ favorability ratings increased from the previous poll six weeks ago, with 36 percent describing Kirkpatrick as “very favorable” or “favorable,” and 48.8 percent describing McCain as either “very favorable” or “favorable.” Methodology The Arizona Republic/Morrison/Cronkite News Poll, conducted Oct. 10-15, 2016, was based on research findings from 1,179 telephone interviews in English and Spanish with Arizona registered voters. The poll team contracted with Behavior Research Center to collect the data. The average number of valid responses to the questions was 811. The response rate for complete interviews was 69 percent. “Most national polls will ask everyone questions, not just registered voters,” said Eric C. Hedberg, senior research fellow for the Morrison Institute for Public Policy. “We know a lot of people over-estimate their registration status. Using only a registered voter list for our poll cut down on that error.” The complete Arizona Republic/Morrison/Cronkite News Poll and coverage from The Arizona Republic can be found at http://www.azcentral.com/politics/ and Cronkite News at https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2016/10/19/october-2016-poll-data.

Hastings & Hastings Speaks on Driver Safety and Personal Responsibility

Theo nguồn tin trên trang mạng prnewswire.com

PHOENIX, May 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — With millions of cars on the road engaged in a relentless, interactive never ending dance, it is no wonder hundreds of thousands of accidents occur on a yearly basis. Few individuals go through their entire life without experiencing a single traffic incident. Hastings & Hastings, Arizona’s Premier Discount Accident Attorneys, has spent four decades defending the rights of accident victims in Arizona. Hastings & Hastings commitment to accident victims is equaled only to its commitment to accident prevention. Hastings & Hastings speaks on driver safety and personal responsibility. Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160509/364964LOGO First, Hasting and Hastings would like to ask every driver to remember to wear their seat belts. It has been proven time and time again that seat belts save lives. Even collisions at low speeds can be deadly if drivers and passengers are not wearing their seat belts. Properly worn seat belts save lives. Second, Hastings and Hastings implores drivers to abstain from speeding. The National Highway Safety Administration states, “Speeding is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to traffic crashes. The economic cost to society of speeding-related crashes is estimated by NHTSA to be $40.4 billion per year. In 2008, speeding was a contributing factor in 31 percent of all fatal crashes, and 11,674 lives were lost in speeding-related crashes.” Those staggering numbers should speak for themselves. Speeding causes fatal car accidents. The attorneys at Hastings and Hastings dream of a day when speeding-related fatalities no longer exist. Finally, Hastings and Hastings encourage drivers to avoid driving distracted. While cell phones may be great, living through to see the end of the day is even better. Other distractions may include eating, drinking, talking to passengers, applying cosmetics, or perhaps tying a tie. Events happen fast when driving. If you drive distracted, you may miss an opportunity that would save your life or the life of another driver. “There are countless behaviors, both small and big, which drivers can adopt to create a safer atmosphere for all of us. In large part, safety comes down to personal responsibility. If we all do our part, we can all stay safe,” said David Hastings, the founder of Hastings & Hastings.

Parker & Sons Speaks on the Dangers of Mold and Mildew

Best Western kicks off summer travel by rewarding its loyal customers

Theo nguồn tin trên trang mạng prnewswire.com

PHOENIX, May 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ –The growth of mold or mildew in the home can be a very major problem. If mold and mildew are allowed to grow unchecked, homeowners could be facing much more than massive cleanup. Large mold or mildew infestations may necessitate home repairs which could cost upwards of thousands of dollars. Not only can mold and mildew cause severe property damage, but prolonged exposure has also been linked to several major health concerns allergies and respiratory problems. Mold and mildew thrive in damp locations such as bathrooms and basements. Occasionally, growths can be found in HVAC vents as well. Mold growth inside HVAC vents is particularly dangerous as the HVAC unit can end up delivering mold spores to every corner of the home. Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160509/365375 Parker & Sons Speaks on the Dangers of Mold and Mildew Parker & Sons Speaks on the Dangers of Mold and Mildew Parker & Sons advises if homeowners believe they may have mold or mildew growth within their HVAC system they should first check the HVAC register. If mold or mildew is already growing on the register, that is a sure sign of growth elsewhere in the HVAC system, likely in the ducts. Even with a clean register, a problem may still exist. Individuals should play close attention to any smells or odors which emanate from their air ducts. If visual signs of mold are present, homeowners will have little need to perform a mold test. If there is an odor, but no visual signs of mold a qualified mold tester should be hired. If mold or mildew growth has been identified, immediate steps should be taken to see to its removal. To ensure that mold is 100 percent eradicated from the duct system, individuals should hire a company that specializes in mold cleaning and removal. If even a trace is left behind, the infestation could grow back. It is possible for a homeowner to remove mold from HVAC ducts without the aid of a professional. However, this is a highly involved process which needs to be thoroughly researched before it is attempted. “Because the desert is so dry, we don’t have to worry too much about mold growing in HVAC ducts. The fact that it doesn’t happen often doesn’t mean that it never happens, though. What It does mean, is that few people pay attention to the problem, so if it does occur, it may get wildly out of control before anyone notices,” said Josh Kelly of Parker & Sons.

Hastings & Hastings Supports the Benefits of Defensive Driving

Theo nguồn tin trên trang mạng prnewswire.com

PHOENIX, May 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Despite its ubiquity and its easily accepted role in daily life, driving is an inherently dangerous activity. Every year thousands of individuals perish as a direct result of car accidents. In 2013 alone, according to statistics gathered by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, 32,179 individuals were killed in auto accidents. Hastings & Hastings believes that any step taken towards reducing these saddening fatality statistics is something to support. To that end, Hastings & Hastings supports the benefits of defensive driving. Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160509/364963LOGO The standard Safe Practices for Motor Vehicle Operations, ANSI/ASSE Z15.1 defines defensive driving as “driving to save lives, time and money, in spite of the condition around you and the actions of others.” This definition is taken directly from the National Safety Council’s Defensive Driving Course handbook. Defensive driving is built upon the tenants of personal responsibility and awareness. It holds individuals accountable for not only their own safety but for the safety of other drives on the road as well. Defensive driving is a call to action. It asks individuals to drive first and foremost with safety in mind. Among the many important tenants of defensive driving is the eponymous Two Second Rule. The two Second Rule calls for drivers to maintain a minimum distance of at least two second between their car and the car they are following. Two seconds equals approximately one vehicle length for every 5 mph a driver is traveling. Hastings and Hastings clarifies: if someone is driving 50 mph they should stay at least 10 vehicle lengths behind the car they are following, if they are driving 75 mph they should stay at a minimum of 15 vehicle lengths behind the car they are follow. The Two Second Rule is just one aspect of defensive driving. When all the techniques and lessons are masters, a driver may rest easy knowing that they are well prepared for even the most unpredictable of roadways disasters. “We at Hastings and Hastings want to do everything we can to help keep the streets of Arizona safe, and we think one of the best ways to accomplish this is by promoting defensive driving. I myself always practice the tenants of defensive driving and I encourage the public to do the same. I have always thought that good behavior has a way of spreading, and there is no better driving behavior then defensive driving,” said David Hastings, the founder of Hastings and Hastings.
