Are you a no to background check Senator? Then base on the experience of Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ), the future is not looking good for you. Tom Kludt of Talking Points Memo reports that senators who said no to expanding background checks on gun buyers are seeing their poll numbers plummet.

Flake, the Arizona Republican who took office in January, was one of the five Senators whose popularity at home declined in the wake of their votes against the gun bill, this is based on a survey released Monday from democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling. The measure, which was co-authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA), fizzled in the Senate after a majority of Republicans said no on the proposed law. The bill was defeated despite staggering public support for strengthening background checks.

The backlash for the no to background check senators was harshest for Flake, according to Kludt’s report, the senator’s standing in Arizona cratered after he voted “no.” With an approval rating of 32 percent, Flake is now the least popular senators in the country according to PPP. Fifty-one percent of Arizona voter said they disapproved of Flake, while a majority of 52 percent said that his opposition to the gun legislation makes them less likely to vote for him in the future. Not to forget, a plurality of 45 percent of Arizona voters said they trust Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who was one of only four Republicans to support the measure, more than Flake on guns.

Flake’s no vote even drew more scrutiny last week after the New York Daily News unearthed a letter he sent to the mother of a shooting victim in which he pledged to support the measure on stronger background checks.

Similar to Flake’s current fate, it’s not much better for Alaska’s two senators, both of whom voted against the background checks legislation. In that state, the once-popular Sen. Lisa Murkowski’(R) numbers have taken a huge dip. According to PPP, forty-six percent of Alaska voters said they approve of Murkowski while 41 percent said they disapprove. That’s down from a 54 percent approval rating from PPP’s February survey, when the pollster rated her as one of the most popular members of the Senate.

Her fellow Alaskan Sen. Mark Begich (D), who was one of the four red state Democrats to vote no to background checks, is suffering the same problem at the polls. It showed the junior senator with an approval rating of 41 percent, while 37 percent said they disapproved of his job performance. February’s PPP survey showed Begich with a 49 percent approval rating.

Thirty-nine percent of Alaska voters said the vote made them less likely to support Begich, who is hoping to get elected again next year. The same percentage said they are less likely to support Murkowski because of it. Meanwhile, about a third said the failed gun legislation will make no difference on future support for either candidate.
