Read new memo on Global Strategy Group poll of Arizona voters and filibuster here
Washington, DC — A new Fix Our Senate poll in Arizona indicates that following significant paid and earned media in the state, Arizona voters are not only better informed about Senator Sinema’s position on the filibuster but also less likely to oppose filibuster reform. The poll, conducted by Global Strategy Group, also showed significant erosion of Senator Sinema’s approval rating.
Sam Brodey of The Daily Beast wrote on the new polling and implications:
“It’s unclear how much of the sustained attacks on Sinema are influencing Arizona voters’ attitudes one way or the other. A new poll conducted by Global Strategy Group for the anti-filibuster group Fix Our Senate—and shared with The Daily Beast—provides at least one data point. In a survey of 500 registered Arizona voters, one-third said they had heard something about Sinema’s stance on the filibuster recently, a fairly high number on a specific issue in an election cycle when Sinema is not on the ballot.
The poll also found Sinema’s approval rating dropping from 41 percent to 34 percent from May to July, with her disapproval rating rising from 27 percent to 31 percent.”

Eli Zupnick, spokesperson for Fix Our Senate, said: “The more that voters in Arizona learn about the filibuster and how it’s been weaponized as a tool of partisan gridlock, the more they support its reform and elimination. Like most Americans, Arizona voters care more about their elected officials delivering on important priorities than they do about an outdated and abused Senate rule. Senator Sinema and the rest of the Senate Democratic caucus should take note and move quickly to eliminate Sen. McConnell’s weapon of partisan obstruction.”
