Poll: McSally leads GOP primary, but trails Dem challenger
The Hill ^ | August 1, 2018 | Lisa Hagen

Posted on 08/02/2018 1:47:25 PM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

Rep. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) is the front-runner in Arizona’s heavily contested GOP Senate primary, but she still trails Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) in a hypothetical general election match-up, according to a new poll.

A poll conducted by Phoenix-based OH Predictive Insights (OHPI) has McSally ahead by 8 points over her toughest primary opponent, former state Sen. Kelli Ward (R), 35 percent to 27 percent. Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is far behind in third, with 15 percent. Twenty-three percent of voters remain undecided going into Arizona’s primary on Aug. 28.

meaningless for so many reasons... not the least of which is that the freakin’ primary isn’t decided.

Ward would be cruising if ol’ Joe would come to his senses and bow out.

Sounds like a good place for DJT to go after Labor Day.

If Joe gets the undecided, he’s at 48.

Joe needs to drop out. There’s no reason he should be running at 86. You got your pardon. You made your point.

They are a lot of undecided voters who don’t pay attention to politics.

Not every American pays attention to politics like we do on FR.

A majority of Americans are centrists, Independents, undecided, apolitical.

Not everyone follows politics.

Low-information voters, especially suburban white women can swing the election Democratic because of Trump’s mishaps.

The immigration situation with the children was not orchestrated well. That’s the bottom line.

Exactly.

Arpaio should have ran 20 years ago against McCain.

Arpaio should retire and be an elder statesman.

************************************
His ego won’t allow him to bow out. The mini-McCain McSally LOVES ol’ Joe as does the RINO establishment. ol’ Joe’s final act on the public scene is as a useful idiot for the Uniparty open-borders globalists.

I agree. Now we are going to get another McSally/McCain.

If it’s not Sheriff Joe than McSally seems the better choice. Not impressed with Kelli Ward. These AZ voters better not fail us once again with respect to their Senators!

Sherrif Joe, if he really cares about Arizona electing SOMEONE who will oppose the Dims, MUST get out of the race, or see it thrown to the one he surely wants most NOT to win. Trump should call him, directly.

Sheriff Joe was at our picnic Saturday and it was just sad. This man should have just gone away after a reprieve from Trump. Handed the Maricopa Sheriff job to a Democrat Now he splits the conservative vote.

Arpaio should get out of the race and endorse Ward. All he’s doing is splitting the conservative vote and handing the election to Sinema.

Arpaio should drop out instead of playing spoiler. He has no chance of winning. Is he even actively campaigning?

Losing to a bisexual democrat? If this were accurate, it would confirm that AZ is trending in the wrong direction.

But it's probably another bogus poll, and POTUS hasn't campaigned in AZ yet.

These guys “Phoenix-based OH Predictive Insights (OHPI)” could be the same guys who had Trump losing Arizona in 2016.
