Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has decided to troll conservatives and therefore will run for re-election in 2016. Despite his long tenure in Washington, however, he may be in a lot of trouble, according to a new PPP poll. While his numbers are perfectly fine among self-identified Right-leaning moderates, the fact that conservatives are angry with him and jumping ship might jeopardize his chances of winning a sixth term.
It's his struggles on the right that have McCain imperiled, the poll finds. He gets narrowly positive reviews from both 'somewhat conservative' (51/37) and moderate (50/44) Republicans. But among those who identify themselves as 'very conservative,' just 21% approve of the job McCain is doing to 71% who disapprove. 83% of voters within that group say they would be more inclined to vote for an alternative on McCain's right next year compared to only 11% who actually say they would vote for McCain.
Thats to be expected. After all, Arizona Republicans censored him last year because he was (ahem) too liberal, right around the same time he was surveyed as the least popular US Senator in Washington by his constituents.
Fortunately for him, however, not all is lost; he edges all of his presumptive Republican challengers.

Not if he runs as a Democommie.
Whatever gives you THAT idea?
You can if you follow the Democrat model.
He borrowed some $20 million that was ‘left over’ from his presidential run.
I questioned how he had that much ‘left over’ in his presidential fund. He said he was broke and needed financial help from the FED Presidential Fund. Why/how did he get to stash that much for the future?
“those who identify themselves as ‘very conservative,’ just 21% approve of the job McCain is doing”
Those 21% clearly don’t understand conservativism and have mis-identified themselves.
“Fortunately for him, however, not all is lost; he edges all of his presumptive Republican challengers.”
The low information Republican primary voters could well return this abysmal fossil to the District of Corruption for his 31 - 36 years of defiling a Senate seat.
Thanks for the correction. I should have known that even Cindy isn’t stupid enough to waste that kind of money. Thankfully, none of those dollars were mine because I did not contribute to his presidential campaign.
John McCain Could Lose His 2016 Primary Battle,
He’s not worried, he’ll be Lindsey’s VP!
I’m doing my part in my state. Arizona’s gotta do its part...just sending my encouragement and good wishes.
I agree. He came pretty close before, in Serbia.
John Mcain could loose his way to his zipper when he had to take a leak.
