A New poll shows Arizona Senator Jeff Flake is in big trouble, in what might be the toughest political race of his career. AZ Highground reports Flake is trailing Kelli Ward by 14%.
AZ Highground reports:
A statewide Arizona survey of 400 likely Arizona 2018 General Election voters shows Republican incumbent Senator Jeff Flake fourteen points behind his primary Republican opponent Kelli Ward and eight points behind prospective Democratic opponent U.S. Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema (D, AZ-9).
Q. If the primary election for United States Senate were held today, would you vote for [Rotate] Jeff Flake or Kelli Ward?
28.2% Jeff Flake 42.5% Kelli Ward 5.1% Some other candidate 24.2% Don’t know, Refused
Q. If the General Election for United States Senate were held today, would you vote for [Rotate] Jeff Flake or Kyrsten Sinema?
32.5% Jeff Flake 40.5% Kyrsten Sinema 27.0% Don’t know, Refused
The Republican Primary Election sample was of 273 high efficacy Republican and PND/Independent voters and has a margin of error of ±5.93%. The General Election sample of 400 high efficacy general election voters has a margin of error of ±4.88%.
“While Election Day may still be more than a year away, Senator Jeff Flake’s campaign has a lot of work to do to persuade Republican primary voters that his form of principled Republican conservatism can trump the nativist populism that is fueling Republican voters’ antipathy towards Washington insiders. These same Republicans still give the President a 74% approval rating in Arizona,” said Chuck Coughlin, President & CEO of HighGround Public Affairs, which conducted the poll.

I don’t believe polls. Cantor thought he was safe during his primary. He relied on his own polling. Kelli Ward needs to campaign like she’s behind by double digits.
This idiot did himself NO favors, with his recent Trump bashing book tour. He can’t retract that!
Never fear! Midge McTurtle’s PAC will attempt to rescue the Flake by encouraging those Dems to cross over and vote for their ‘freebies’ not to stop.
Flake was just on Fox & Friends, and like when Jerryaldo comes on, the channel changes. Don’t know what he had to say!
I hope they don’t “I am not a witch” her!
Sometimes the name just fits the individual- Flake!
I don’t believe in polls either.
She needs to keep the hammer down and ignore the polls.
It wouldn’t hurt her in the least to take a political shot at the Turtle in a campaign ad. “We’re coming Mitch, and we’re bring hell with us...”
I never understood it. As politician, one should always have finger on pulse of voters. How the hell did he miss it .... by this much? It seems to me that 1) he is idiot or 2) he truly does not give a damn to his voters
Don’t forget, if Flake sends the correct ‘virtue’ signals, losing the election isn’t the end. He will ges to be the ‘conservative’ commentator on the MSM, find jobs in various lobbying groups, get positions on corporate boards, etc.
I have heard that Trump might back Jeff DeWitt should DeWitt decide to jump into the primary race. I don’t know anything about the guy other than he is another Trump supporter. Don’t know how his conservative credentials compare with Kelli Ward’s. I just hope we don’t end up with a multi-candidate field that lets the weasel Flake sneak through.
Go, Ward.
Flake basically said, he agrees with Trump on most issues, but does not like Trump’s TONE.
So in Flake’s mind it is all about how smooth you can talk, not the meat of the agenda.
polls are always right...
mostly.
according to polls.
t
Flake is reading those polls. Fox and Friends had him on this AM. He’s not as feisty as he was last week when he was promoting his anti-Trump book.
Then, we can use that term to rid our congress of all the Undocumented Democrats in Congress by Flaking Them!
Defund/defang/vote out/Flake the undocumented Democrat traitors in Congress!
Trump is flushing out all the Rino’s and Undocumented Democratic plants in Congress!
President Trump and we will get rid of Undocumented Democrats posing as Republicans in congress!
Bitch lost her PRIMARY but ran in the Election anyway
With the help of Democrats she defeated the Republican!!!
Never underestimate the power of the Presidency.
I don’t know anything about Kelli Ward, other Tha she is not Jeff Flake. That’s actually enough to support her.
He was McCain-ized.....................
Open primary state. Like Traitor McCain, his Dem friends will load up the busses and vote in the primary and pull him through, just like Corker did in MS.
