    I don't think these favorability polls are too useful, especially for politicians (like Sinema) for whom most Americans don't have an opinion.

    That being said, I wouldn't be surprised. I imagine Sinema's ratings with Republicans are halfway decent, while most other Dems will have near-zero approval from them. Swing voters do exist, as much as it's hard to believe.

    Think about Susan Collins in 2020. She had very poor favorables because most Republicans do not like her but a decent number of Democrats do, but she won comfortably because Republicans came home for her and those Democrats crossed over. Sinema is trying to do the same thing, although unlike Collins I imagine Sinema will face a primary challenge.
