AZ-Remington Research poll: Flake in trouble

[MT Treasurer]

We need a 2018 polls board, guys! Anyway...

2018 Senate Republican primary

38% Jeff DeWit (R)
30% Jeff Flake (R)
15% Kelli Ward (R)

42% Jeff DeWiit (R)
33% Jeff Flake (R, inc.)

35% Kelli Ward (R)
35% Jeff Flake (R, inc.)

Flake is viewed unfavorably by roughly half of Republicans. Thirty percent view Flake favorably, while 49 percent view the senator in a negative light.

The poll was conducted Nov. 15 and Nov. 16 with 1,122 likely Republican primary voters in that state and carries a 2.93 percent margin of error.

I wouldn't vote for Flake if you payed me.

[Sir Mohamed]

LOL, a few months ago, while meeting the congressional GOPers, the Trumpster predicted Flake would lose. He was only two years ahead…

👌👌👌

Great! We still need to protect our incumbents and win one of the safe states, but winning Nevada and Arizona would be a big help.

[Mr. Smith]

Excellent, but Ron-John was supposed to be effed too.

[windjammer]

Is the state treasurer seriously considering it or it's just a random name?

[Figueira]

Excellent, but Ron-John was supposed to be effed too.

I don't think anyone is saying that Flake is guaranteed to lose.

It's early, but Democrats need to keep an eye on this race and try to get a decent candidate. Flake isn't entrenched like McCain, and would clearly have issues in a primary. If someone like Ward were to win the primary, Democrats would have a real shot at this race.

Even if Flake does win the primary, Democrats still have a decent chance of beating him if there's a big enough wave, although I'd say he's somewhat favored in that case.

[windjammer]

Maybe Kyrsten Sinema will run?

[I’m not Stu]

It's too early to tell whether Flake is vulnerable or not.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Is he definitely running? Flake might dislike the increased polarisation of the Senate, and especially dislike having to stay loyal to Trump.

You are not going to have a Dem wave in 2018. You smoking opium again?

[I’m not Stu]

It is not known if Flake will run in 2018 or not.

[jamestroll]

This may be one of the very few seats Democrats have a realistic chance of picking up in 2018.

The Democratic strategy for 2018 should be trying to defend their Senate incumbents, make headway in the house, and pick up Governorships.

Midterms are almost always bad for the party that controls the presidency. It obviously won't be a "wave" in terms of number of Senate seats gained, but that doesn't matter because this thread is purely about Arizona.

Midterm years are bad for the incumbent party and Trump is already very unpopular. It is possible. And personal insults aren't helpful.

[I’m not Stu]

Is Flake unpopular in AZ?

[publicunofficial]

Is Flake unpopular in AZ?

He's probably popular among the general electorate, but underwater among Republicans.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

If he survives the primary, Republicans will come home and pull him over the line. The only real danger is if he loses the primary to a wingnut.

[I’m not Stu]

He is popular in Arizona as a whole.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Interesting.  I'd thought Flake would be considerably more popular among AZ Republicans than McCuck is.
