Five-term incumbent Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has good reason to fear a primary challenge. Newly released data from liberal-leaning Public Policy Polling shows half of Arizona’s Republican primary voters disapprove of McCain’s job performance, and more than half would prefer a more conservative Senate candidate in 2016.
After more than three decades in Washington, McCain earns merely 41 percent approval from Arizona Republicans and 36 percent from general Arizona voters, PPP finds. Just 37 percent reported a willingness to support the Senator in his 2016 re-election bid.
In the days leading up to his re-election declaration, McCain and wife Cindy each released letters asking for financial support.
Notably, 51 percent of those surveyed in the poll indicated a desire for someone more conservative than Sen. John McCain as the 2016 Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona.
The result comes as little surprise, considering that members of McCain’s own party officially censured him on the basis that he has “amassed a long and terrible record of drafting, co-sponsoring and voting for legislation best associated with liberal Democrats, such as Amnesty, funding for ObamaCare, the debt ceiling, assaults on the Constitution and 2nd amendment, and has continued to support liberal nominees.”

Be still my heart.
Enjoy it while they can. One serious upside to cord-cutting is one can be blissfully ad-free. At some point enough Americans will cut the cord that political ads on TV will lose effectiveness simply because nobody sees them. Ad money will still rule in the 2016 cycle, but I expect this is the last presidential cycle where TV advertizing will dominate. By 2020 we’ll have hit the tipping point and they’ll be panic all around trying to figure out how to program the average voter.
Good news and I hope it holds but it is still 1.5 years before the election.
Hat tip for Kelli Ward if she decides to run.
I don’t vote on emotion, I vote on policy and the candidates record. There are a lot of good , solid conservative women in office. Don’t assume they have liberals views on women’s issues. Their voting records prove otherwise.
0% sounds good to me
McCain needs to be Cantor-ized.
The problem is, he has a good year to suck up to, and grant Senatorial favors for, many Arizonans; i.e. buy some votes.
Finally, some good news.
He needs to go down and go down hard in the Republican primary. Send these appeasers a message.
I’m almost - *almost* - to the point where I’d welcome a Democrat beating McCain

I cannot believe you said that........ because I was just thinking the same thing. (LOL). I’ve always said that any Pubbie is better than any ‘Rat, but, I so loathe that crusty, old fart..........
I’ve got a feeling that, this time, even if he wins the GOP Primary, he will lose in the General Election because Conservatives will skip the Senate Race on the Ballot.; that’s how badly he is hated.
Can anyone please explain to me what righttackle44 is saying in his rant on Post #41? I think I’m missing something there.
But it’s only one year before the GOP Primary.
I don’t believe it; I think he will be nonminated in 2022 too, but then his “friends”, the Dems, will take him out.
I'm cynical of all pols and tight as Hell, but I sent her some bucks. HERE.
