Yeah, yeah, the poll was commissioned by Kos, but we’ve been over this before. Their pollster’s reputable, and if they were gaming the numbers here, some of their results would have tilted the other way. Hayworth beats all four hypothetical Democratic challengers? Obama’s net approval rating stands at -14? A plurality prefers a candidate who favors repealing ObamaCare to one who supports the law (44/39)? Not very Kos-y.
Despite the conventional wisdom that McCain could be vulnerable to an intra-party challenge, we find that McCain has a fairly solid level of favorability among Republicans. His current favorability among GOP voters stands at 76%, with only 19% expressing disapproval.
Hayworth, meanwhile, may well have some upside in the GOP primary, as he is still unknown to about a quarter of the electorate. And it is worth noting that among Republicans, he is well liked (a 61/16 favorability spread).
However, his upside might be limited to a GOP primary. In a general election, he is clearly a greater liability for the GOP. Hayworth is much less popular among both Democratic and Independent voters, and sports an net negative favorability (34/42) among all voters, joining only President Obama (41/55) and incumbent GOP Governor Jan Brewer (39/54) in minus territory.

Thanks, Sarah.
You beat me to it!
The poll was commissioned by Kos, they usually heavily favor the leftist. This result is no surprise.
No wonder RINOs get elected. Ignorant people will vote for ANYBODY!
It’s a long way to August. Has McVain had anything to say about the rancher murdered by illegal aliens?
Wow. I sure would have thought the bulk of republicans would have had enough of mccain. I wonder what it will take.
This is Kos poll. I’d like to see Rasmussen’s numbers.
Two words...Scott Brown.
And remember how much Rubio trailed Crist? McCain will be defeated and Hayworth can win in red state AZ. If he can't, then this talk of a Rep tsunami in 2010 is a crock of sh*t.
It would be the height of irony if Sarah Palins endorsement carries him over the top and he returns to Wash DC to broker an amnesty bill that gives the democrats 30 million new voters to usher in a permanent socialist democrat majority!
Knowing Kos I wouldn’t be surprised if the poll was taken in Pelosis’ district.
Conservatives, yes. Some "Republicans", not so much.
“It’s a long way to August. Has McVain had anything to say about the rancher murdered by illegal aliens?”
Oh, yes, indeed he has. He wants the national guard on the border...insists he’s always wanted guard on the border..NOT....
Bill O’reilly has given us the proof that MCCain did NOT want the guard on the border.
SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-ARIZ.: I do not favor using troops because they are not trained for it. They don’t have the kind of qualifications necessary. I have strongly favored us using all the technical equipment that our military has including satellites, including aircraft and other technical means.

He actually said this just a few days ago:
“President Reagan granted amnesty to two million people and that was wrong,” McCain said.

A few years ago, McCain introduced legislation to give MEXICO healthcare. But they didn’t need any ID card.
