Poll: McSally takes lead over Sinema in Arizona Senate race
The Hill ^ | 12 Sep 2018 | TAL AXELROD

Posted on 09/12/2018 9:54:55 AM PDT by mandaladon

Rep. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) has taken a narrow lead over Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) in the Senate race to replace retiring Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) according to a new ABC15–OH Predictive Insights poll released Wednesday.

It is McSally's first lead in the poll that comes just under eight weeks before the midterm elections.

The poll shows McSally overtaking Sinema with 49 percent of the likely vote compared to Sinema’s 46 percent, a difference that falls within the margin of error. Sinema had led by 6 points in the poll earlier this year.

Both candidates enjoy positive favorability ratings by similar margins. McSally has a 49-39 favorable/unfavorable rating, and Sinema has a 47-38 favorable/unfavorable rating.

However, McSally, whose approval rating has been tied to that of President Trump in past polls, is buoyed by improved numbers for the president in Arizona.

Trump is above water with about 51 percent of likely Arizona voters approving of the job he’s doing so far, compared with 47 percent who disapprove of his job performance.

He also has made significant gains among crucial swing demographics. His approval rating spiked 17.3 percent among likely voters aged 55-64, 13.3 percent among likely voters with a bachelor’s degree and 11.1 percent among women.

OH Predictive Insights surveyed 597 likely Arizona voters from Sept. 5 to 6.

So what happened here? A month or so ago, all the pundits were acting like Arizona and Nevada were the two sure Senate pickups for the Democrats this November.

Pundits is just another way of saying losers who have NO life, who go on TV for money, to spew idiocy. None of those fools know ANYTHING about what is going to happen in November..just like in 2016, they all had egg on their faces

Arizona, Texas, Florida, New Hampshire, Georgia will go “Trump Red” big time!!! Republican, John Cox will win the Governorship in California!!! Election evening, November 6, 2018 will not be an enjoyable evening for the Democrat Party....across the board.

That evening, 11/06/2018 will leave the Democrat Party as a failed political organization, across the board. Obama & Clinton sought to destroy the American Republic and all its Freedoms. Instead together...they destroyed the Democrat Party a s an effective operating political party for many years to come!!!

Sinema is a wacko Leftist, yet her TV ads have the tag line ‘an Independent voice’. She is a LIAR. She has been waiting in the wings, pretending to be moderate, all the while knowing that if she can secure a Senate seat, she will go full blown Leftist. GO MCSALLY!

It will take superhuman effort to stop me from voting (for McSally) on election day.

“...at least three or four times...”

ONLY three or four times?

Wait, I can’t criticize. Three or four times is a good effort.

I will follow the liberal mantra of “vote early, vote often”.

This new #AZSen ad is absolutely brutal. Democratic candidate Kyrsten Sinema is on tape at a state house hearing opposing tougher penalties for men caught with underage prostitutes because some 12 &13 year olds “look older than” her. Its a devastating ad:

The 15 second version is pretty devastating too.

“So what happened here? A month or so ago, all the pundits were acting like Arizona and Nevada were the two sure Senate pickups for the Democrats this November.”

McSally has been running some pretty good ads in the Prescott area.

Trump is supposed to come to AZ next week for McSally and Ducey but with the hurricane this week everything is on hold.
