Poll: McCain leads Hayworth by 22 points in Senate race
Phoenix Business Journal ^ | January 22, 2010 | Mike Sunnucks

U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., holds a 22-point lead over former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth in a potential Republican primary this year for McCain’s seat.

A Rasmussen Reports poll released Friday gives McCain 53 percent and Hayworth 31 percent among GOP primary voters.

Hayworth, a former sportscaster who became a U.S. representative from Scottsdale, now is a conservative radio commentator on KFYI-AM 550 in Phoenix.

McCain is seeking a fifth term in the U.S. Senate after losing the 2008 presidential race. Hayworth takes a tougher line on immigration than McCain, who favors a guest worker program.

The survey, conducted this month, included 502 likely primary voters.

McCain has taken a stronger stance against President Barack Obama on health care and the economy this week since a Republican won the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts.

The Arizona Republican said Obama should have focused more on jobs and the economy and less on health care reform. He told CNN on Thursday that Obama has not called him for cooperation on any issue since the new president took office last year.

Hayworth has not yet decided whether to run for Senate, and no major Democrat is in the race for McCain’s seat.

McCain needs to call it quits.

I don’t believe for one second that that’s anywhere close to accurate.

And where the hell were you, Johnny Boy? How strident was your opposition? Hah! I thought not. Sarah and Scott, I am disappointed. And most disappointed in the sheeple.

I live here in Arizona and let me tell you that McCain has a miserable ad out already and JD hasn’t even ANNOUNCED yet!
McCain is GOING down! Time to throw this old RINO out and get a guy who will represent us from Arizona. I’m tired of Juan McCain and his “let’s give them Amnesty” crap!

I agree. In the meantime, we should do whatever we can to promote JD and spread the truth about J.S. McCain.

Thank you. Seven months out and Juan Mc is already throwing bombs at an opponent who is not yet running? At his age you would think he would be beyond desperation. With his ego he probably plans on running for Pres again in 012.
