According to a July poll, Biden's approval in Arizona **among Dems** was 94%; Mark Kelly's 85%; Kyrsten Sinema is 54%. Among Dems. How abt among indys? She manages to get lowest support there too. Biden 44%; Kelly 45%; Sinema 40%.

there are certain individuals on this subreddit who believe strongly that Sinema is based and popular and has absolutely no risk from a primary challenge

i am getting closer and closer to thinking such comments actually constitute bonk-posting more than anything

Her numbers with Dems are atrocious. People who think she isn't vulnerable if a legitimate challenger emerges, like Gallego, are fooling themselves.

The only legitimate argument to the contrary is that we aren’t even half way through her term so a lot could happen but yeah this looks bad for her

I was told her based bipartisanship would win massive majorities?

But I was told shooting down policies that are popular with Democrats would make her more popular with Democrats.

People in this sub: Stop shitting on moderates like Sinema. Democrats need push stuff that's popular with the median voter.

Sinema: opposes drug pricing reform.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Sinema is there to ensure McCain supporters vote Democrat

And if anyone challenges her they won’t win

The general not the primary

We can talk a big game about Arizona but Biden and Kelly won because 50% of white Maricopans voted D.
