A new poll out of Arizona by a well-trusted, independent national pollster, Public Policy Polling, shows that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I) stands to lose re-election badly in virtually any potential matchup this November and is deeply unpopular among voters.
The survey results, first obtained by Jezebel via an internal Ruben Gallego campaign memo, show that just 27 percent of voters in the state view Sinema favorably and want her to run again, compared to 50 percent of Arizonans who view her unfavorably and 54 percent who say she shouldnt run again. Rep. Gallego (D-Ariz.), her likely Democratic challenger, has a net positive favorability, with 39 percent of voters approving of him and 28 percent disapproving.
In any likely three-way matchup among Sinema, Gallego and whatever Republican candidate wins their primary, Sinema appears to have virtually no chance of winning. If the GOP candidate is election denier Kari Lake, for example, the new PPP survey shows that Gallego would pull in 42 percent of the vote, Lake 35 percent, and Sinema just 14 percent. The numbers are similar if you plug Jim Lamon or Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb in as the Republican candidate.
Sinema is trailing Gallego in terms of fundraising as well. She raised just $2.1M in Q1 compared to Gallegos $3.7M, and just 0.3 percent of her donations were from small dollar donors, according to NBC News. Roughly a third of her haul came from just five companies, including hedge funds and private equity firms, whereas 98 percent of Gallegos donations were from donors who pitched in less than $100.

(1,282 posts)She has ZERO constituency in either party. Despised by Dems. GOPers are not going to vote for someone who has voted for some of the good things (to her credit) she has voted for. There is no path for her.
There is no room for a McCain style pol in AZ GOP (not that she's in that league) and they are likely to nominate a loon leaving Dems with a shot at keeping the seat.
I expect that Rove or some other GOP a hole will be running her "campaign."
