Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., is facing an uphill battle in his reelection bid, according to a new survey.
The results of the JMC Analytics poll:
- Former Arizona state senator Kelli Ward has 47 percent support.
- Flake has 21 percent support.
- Pharmacist Nicholas Tutora has 3 percent support.
- 67 percent hold an unfavorable view of Flake, compared to 22 percent who have a favorable view of him.
- 66 percent said they would recommend someone else other than Flake to be the Republican nominee in the 2018 Senate race.
Flake is often critical of President Donald Trump, which has caused the president to lash out at the longtime politician who served two years in the Arizona Statehouse and 10 years in the House before joining the Senate in 2013.
