PPP poll finds Heller approval rating falling to 22 percent

A new poll from a Democratic firm suggests support for Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) is cratering amid disapproval of the GOP effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

A Public Policy Poll survey released Tuesday found that only 22 percent of Nevada voters who responded to the survey approve of Heller's job performance, compared with 55 percent who disapprove. Twenty-three percent said they weren't sure.

The poll showed strong opposition and minimal support for the Senate's effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Just 35 percent of Nevadans surveyed supported the effort to repeal ObamaCare, compared with 54 percent who oppose it.

Heller is considered the most vulnerable Republican up for reelection in 2018. He's running in a state where President Trump was defeated in 2016 by Democrat Hillary Clinton.

oppositie happened with Heller

There is no doubt that he will have to defend that vote in 2018

8. Heller may have protected himself against a primary challenger

but he has increased the likelihood of losing in the general.

5. There could be a huge concern for this

What if he stepped aside and San Doval ran"

6. Sandoval is a moderate, liberal republican.

He's the only Repub in NV that could actually win this seat.

He also would not be a friend of Dump, nor the Turtle.

Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski would gain a friend in Sandoval.

10. He's still a republican. nt

[roamer65]

12. Yup.

Sandoval doesn't run for it and the seat is ours.

[rpannier]

15. And he'd still vote for most republican tax ideas, low wages, etc

Let's not forget that Murkowski and Collins are friends to Democrats once in a blue moon

7. Don't worry the Koch sewage plant will be dumping toxic garbage on his Democratic opponent,

[turbinetree]

9. What a complete dumbsh*t

he was hemming and hawing about the medicaid expansion, and then when they had the so called "skinny repeal" this twit voted to hurt people in his state................dude you are a total disgrace--------------resign.

No stay, so that you can be voted out of office, we don't want a republican governor giving the seat to another republican idiot.
