McCain's once-powerful support from independents is particularly lacking; just 38 percent approved of his performance. But among Republicans, McCain retains solid support; 51 percent approved and just 14 percent disapproved

A long-term incumbent with just 51% support in his own party?!

I would just love to see the back-stabbing SOB go down. I'd get as big a thrill out of Hayworth beating McCain in the primary and I did out of Scott Brown's victory in the special.

I didn’t realize he only had 51% approval from Republican voters. That certainly sounds like the kiss of death. I’ll be delighted to see the last of him in public life. The MSM gave him a ton of publicity over the years, because they loved the way he made trouble for his party. But I haven’t seen any of that this time around. I think they’ve written him off.
