By holding the line on excessive spending and opposing repeal of the filibuster, Sinema has spent some of her political capital on the Left to win over a critical mass of independents, as well as generate goodwill from Republicans. A newly released poll conducted by OH Predictive Insights, conducted from Sept. 7-12, shows how unique her political coalition of support is in these tribal times. Her net favorability is plus-7 (46 percent favorable, 39 percent unfavorable) in a state that President Biden carried by a single point. While just 56 percent of Democrats view her favorably, she holds an above-water (plus-6) rating with independents and unusually high 40 percent favorability rating among Republicans.

All told, her overall favorability rating is a notch higher than newly elected Sen. Mark Kelly. He polls between 43 and 44 percent against all Republicans in next year’s Senate race. His net favorability rating is plus-4, with 47 percent viewing him favorably and 43 percent viewing him unfavorably.

Angry progressive pundits are convinced that Sinema’s independent positioning will doom her in a Democratic primary. That is a total misread of her political situation.

Agreed. And I'm all for the 'rights' of the undocumented but when you threaten a sitting U.S. Senator's safety and you're in this country illegally, you should be deported immediately.

The police know exactly who this student is. Send her back to her home country and see how they deal with activists.

Kinda weird they followed her into the bathroom, but how did they threaten her?

By angrily stalking someone into a bathroom with nowhere to run except to push through an angry crowd of men and women? Unacceptable. Especially to do this to a woman in her workplace.

Tom “Slavery is Totally Awesome and We Should Bring It Back!” Cotton can go ahead and sit down. It’s unfortunate that he’s a tender magnolia blossom who has to complain about obstructionists getting called out, but working the refs is one of the ways that Republicans guarantee positive coverage for their dastardly deeds.

Hopefully, Manchin will stand strong.

Biden supported the Hyde Amendment for over 40 years.

And he’s since come to understand how toxic the Hyde Amendment is. I’m glad. We need less discrimination in our healthcare, not more.

I'm not going to get into a tax-payer funded abortion debate with you..... just suffice it to say that the Hyde Amendment USED to be bipartisan, until the progressives took over the Democratic Party.

Oh wow the forced birth position is still enforced, prioritizing forced birther’s beliefs over any pregnant woman’s? You say that like it’s a good thing. I disagree. I hope the Hyde Amendment goes the way of the dodo, for it is a cruel and moronic law.

Despite the media dragging him through the mud, Florida has done much better with covid than most states while never closing schools, ruining businesses, etc. Hoping Trump chokes on a pretzel or something.

You mean except for all the dead Floridians, right?

Manchin and Sinema are the faces of other Dem senators who don't want the package.

I misquoted. She said any bill including the language of the Hyde amendment won’t be considered.
