Flake's approval rating in Arizona at 18 percent

[DesertRat]

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) has a job approval rating of only 18 percent in Arizona, according to a new poll.

A survey from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling finds 62 percent of Arizona voters disapprove of the job the senator is doing. Another 19 percent are not sure.

If the 2018 midterm election were held today, just 31 percent of respondents said they would support Flake's bid, compared to 47 percent who said they would support a generic Democratic opponent, according to the poll.

Another 22 percent of respondents said they were not sure who they would support.

4. Janet Napolitano left AZ when President Obama tapped her for his cabinet in 2009.

She's been in CA ever since, I don't think she'd run here again.

5. What did Flake do to end up so unpopular?

I'm surprised anyone can get this low short of someone as corrupt and ridiculous as Christie.

6. From the article

A Democratic National Committee spokesman said it wasn't a surprise the Arizona senator had such high disapproval ratings, pointing to his healthcare votes

“After Senator Jeff Flake was complicit in Republican efforts to take health care away from millions of working families it’s no surprise that the majority of Arizonans disapprove of their Senator’s job performance," spokesman Vedant Patel said in a statement.

"Surprisingly, Senator Flake and Republicans have still not shied away from an agenda that prioritizes the wealthy and steam rolls the middle class."
