Poll: Arizona Republicans in danger of losing Senate seat

Senate seats previously held by Republicans in Arizona, Nevada and Tennessee are all vulnerable in the midterm elections, according to an Axios/SurveyMonkey poll.

It showed that U.S. Rep Kyrsten Sinema held a nine-point lead over U.S. Rep. Martha McSally, an eight-point lead over former Arizona Sen. Kelli Ward and a 29-point lead over former Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The poll had a four percent margin of error.

In Nevada, incumbent Sen. Dean Heller could be in trouble against Rep. Jacky Rosen, who had a six-point lead, according to the poll, with a five percent margin of error.

In Tennessee, former Gov. Phil Breseden and U.S. Rep Marsha Blackburn were virtually tied; Breseden held a 48-47 lead with a four point margin of error, according to the poll.

Axois called DACA a “warning sign” for Republicans, noting that 64 precent of voters across Arizona, Nevada and Tennessee support protections for recipients, and 71 percent support offering immigrants a chance to apply for citizenship.

Keep in mind, though, that an Axios poll in March showed that of 10 Democrats defending Senate seats in states President Donald Trump won in 2016, five of them are in danger of being lost to a Republican challenger.

For Democrats to have a majority in the Senate, they would need to maintain control of all their prior seats and gain two more in the midterm elections.
