Out senator Kyrsten Sinema's favorability ratings are tanking & everyone knows why [View all]

The senator’s willingness to sacrifice LGBTQ civil rights in favor of the filibuster and opposition to raising the minimum wage has cost her support from Democrats.

Out Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) is paying a steep price for her stance in favor of an old Senate procedural maneuver that imperils LGBTQ civil rights legislation and other progressive priorities. Sinema is the only out bisexual senator. But her recent attempt to look “bipartisan” isn’t gaining her new Republican fans; it’s losing her Democratic support.

OH Predictive Insights’s most recent Arizona Public Opinion Pulse polling shows support for the senator dropping like a rock. Although the results were within the margin of error, the poll shows that her unfavorable ratings now outweigh positive reviews of her performance.

Forty percent of respondents had an unfavorable opinion of Sinema. Thirty-nine percent viewed her favorably. The margin of error is 3.7%.

Only 50 percent of Democrats give Sinema a thumbs up now and 30 percent view her unfavorably after her opposition to raising the federal minimum wage despite campaigning to increase it and her staunch support for the filibuster.
