Sinema at 8% approval with Arizona Democrats

[Virginiá]

This poll had her +7 favorability a few points higher than Kelly. She already had a fair amount of disapproval among D’s at the time so this implies that she was running the table with independents. The only thing standing in the way of her re-election is her own party’s pouting

42/36 Favorable/Unfavorable with Independents in that poll. She made up for the losses with Dems with Republicans. She was still majority-favorable with Democrats, though. If she's down to 8% now, she'd need much better numbers among Republicans/Indies to be net favorable.

Clowns in this thread saying she'd be strong in the general because she's so strong among Republicans and indies.

Just wait until the election comes around and 90%+ those Republicans who viewed her favorably end up voting for the Republican candidate anyway.

Democrats need to do a better job of vetting their candidates' stances on the issues. Plain and simple.

Fundamentally we're talking about the Democratic primary electorate, and vetting isn't really something it does. It's not something the general electorate does either, actually (and unfortunately). And even if they knew then, it doesn't necessarily mean they would consider it a deal-breaker if, out of everyone else who ran, this suspect candidate was still the best, most likely to win.

Biden endorsed the most conservative House Democrat over a Justice Democrat. He made his bed here.

The House isn't as much of an issue here aside from SALT whiners. The fixation on Sinema is about the Senate...
