a thing in the last 10 years and sadly it augers well for an Obama second term.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) not only leads his primary opponent in a new poll, but also garners a high approval rating from the GOP base.
McCain leads former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.) 52-37 in a head-to-head matchup.
The new Research 2000 poll for the liberal website Daily Kos also shows McCain with a 76 percent favorable rating among Republicans, with 19 percent unfavorable. Hayworth's numbers are 61 percent positive and 16 percent negative.
The numbers seem to indicate that Hayworth isn't necessarily seen as a superior candidate by the GOP base. If McCain is ousted, it will probably be because of the anti-incumbent sentiment that exists right now.
Whether Hayworth can fill that role remains to be seen. Replacing an incumbent senator with a former congressman who can be tied to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff doesn't seem like a logical way for voters to express their dismay with Washington.

This is a Soros poll. It is pretty obvious that McCain Dem mole. This is the same kind of “polling” we saw for Obama.
Ignore it. McCain and the Democrats must be worried that McCain will lose.
What "Base" is being identified here? I call BS. McLame has lost GOP support from voters.
Georgie Soro’s boy, Kos, is scared to death that Hayworth is going to oust there boy, McCain. This so-called “poll” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. It’s more or less nothing but a pile of bull manure.
Whether Hayworth is down 7 points or 15 points, he’s still losing. There is plenty of time to close the gap, but McCain has probably bolstered his support with Palin’s endorsement and campaign rally.
All I can say is maybe those in Arizona wanting a change in Republican representation should work EVEN HARDER.
You never know what you can accomplish if you try.
She needs to be seen as loyal but not indebted to McCain or her career in the GOP is over, at least with conservatives.
Dubious poll. But still AZ voter have returned this agent of Mexico time and time again to the Senate.
If McCain wins it will be because of her support. In which case she has lost my support. She is not going to fair well if he wins.
See #7.
Truth for today:
If the Libs tell us good things about a GOP candidate (In this case a RINO), we should do an immediate 180.
Once again they’re trying to select our candidate.
Like said above it is a KOS poll so pay no attention.
In politics I admire loyalty to principle. It should not be about personal paybacks and quid pro quos. McCain chose to pick Sarah because he thought it would benefits himself. He did not do it as a favor to her. So she owes him nothing. She catapulted to fame because of who she is. I would rather she be true to constitutional principles and the American people than some party bigwig.
....according to the Kos daily poll, Obama has yet to score under 55% so take their poll for what its worth...
LOL KOS.
Very difficult balancing act.
It’s a poll from the Daily Kos! What would one EXPECT from them!?
Plus, Sarah paid McCain back fully by being the only person trying to win in 2008.
She owes him nothing.
If McCain loses the primary, he will run as an independent and win, only this time he will be even more pissed at the GOP.
It will be another Lieberman situation.
