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.

McDaniel is mulling over whether to challenge the other Senator, Wicker, who barely registers on the radar screen after almost 23 years in Congress.

As for Zero’s Bitch Mitch attacking Dr. Ward, she should wear that like a badge of honor.

Flake like Heller and others are depending on the RNC to crush the conservative challenger. These people are worse than Democrats:

Which is why no one should contribute to the RNC or Senatorial or House campaign funds. Only to individuals that are reliably conservative. They waste unsuspecting donations from people on defending RINO's and the status quo - bad for the party because it's less $$$ to spend defeating Democrats.

Kelli Ward is going to kick Flakes azz. I read that Mercer is giving her money and Trump is sending people to help the campaign.

Yes, though that didn't work out so well for Luther Strange in Alabama so far, and he's already had $8 million spent on his behalf and his 18 points down in polling.

Flake does not agree with Trump on the issues at all. Flake is a typical neocon globalist.

Saw Flake on Fox this morning. He made it sound like he and the president were best buds.

Let me clue you in! THEY ARE ALL GLOBALISTS! Every one of them, career politicians, including Cruz, Kasich, Bush, Pence, Rubio, Paul Ryan, Flake, McCain etc etc etc.

Why are they globalists? Because they can remain in politics ONLY BECAUSE of their ultra rich donors. And what do the donor class wants? Cheap labor inside and outside the country. Once you understand this, the fog is lifted on all their actions.

Why do you think we have $500,000,000,000 deficit EVERY frickin year with China? Why are US corporations moving plants to Mexico? Why Cruz was pushing for 500% increase in H1B visa's for cheap programmers from India & others? Why do we engage in foreign nation building? (higher profits for contractors). Why do you think are we importing one million low skilled and low net worth LEGAL immigrants EVERY year? Why they never built the Wall, and will not fund the wall?

Only a candidate who is 70+ years age bracket, has more money already than he will ever need, and has always been America first, is spared from the globalist ideology.

Consider this. With $10 Billion net worth, next 100 generations EACH stands to inherit $100 Million!

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.

Hope the polls are right, but campaign like they're not. Nonetheless, the RINOs better pay attention: the People are pissed and being registered as a Republican isn't going to save them.

Trailing in polls is beginning to disturb Flake’s “conscience”. Good thing he is a conservative! lol

Yes, Flake is going for a national profile as a Republican critic of Trump. He will get a big media deal if he loses his seat.

Way too far out from the election to believe any polls. Of course, any poll besides the official one is open to speculation. Seems that in October, 2016, Hillary was a 99% chance to win the White House, and we all know how that turned out (thank goodness!)

As politician, one should always have finger on pulse of voters. How the hell did he miss it

It is called arrogance and having a senior senator called McCain

I heard him on the radio this AM and his smarmy bureaucratic elitist double-speak sounded desperate.

That kind of stuff no longer plays well. When Trump was the ONLY one not doing it, people flocked to him.

And AZ radio listeners were calling in PI$$ED that the radio host was even giving him air time. He was trying to make the argument that he’s so experienced a politician, and Doctor Ward is not...

Yeah, that’s the argument I WANT these RINO’s to make!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
