In October 2021, Data for Progress published poll findings that captured the extent of Arizona Democratic primary voters’ dissatisfaction with Senator Kyrsten Sinema: She had the highest unfavorability rating of any elected Democrat tested in the state, and she was poised to lose her 2024 primary by a wide margin.

Since then, speculation has mounted that progressive Representative Ruben Gallego, a Harvard-educated Iraq War veteran, is seriously considering a bid. Meanwhile, Sinema was censured by the Arizona Democratic Party this week for her defense of the filibuster, which came at the expense of passing popular voting rights legislation.

Data for Progress’ initial polling found Gallego to be in the best position to beat Sinema in 2024. New Data for Progress polling finds that, since October, Sinema’s favorability has dipped even further — and that Gallego’s potential to secure a primary victory has increased.

Kyrsten Sinema Is Even More Unpopular With Democratic Primary Voters Across Arizona

Around 80 percent of likely Democratic primary voters in Arizona hold favorable views of President Biden and Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly. Among self-identified Democrats, both officials hold nearly 90 percent favorability, while among self-identified moderates, both officials hold 72 percent support. In contrast, Sinema holds -57 points net favorability overall.
