Senator John McCain has opened a 20-point lead over former Congressman J.D. Hayworth in Arizona’s Republican Senate Primary race.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely GOP Primary Voters in the state shows McCain attracting 54% of the vote, while Hayworth earns 34%.
For Hayworth, this represents another decline in support. In April, he picked up 42% of the vote. That fell to 40% in May, 36% in June and 34% in July.
For McCain, the 54% level of support is his highest yet.
“Some other candidate” picks up seven percent (7%) support, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
Last month, McCain led 47% to 36%.
Arizona Republicans will pick their Senate nominee in an August 24 primary. A member of the U.S. Senate since 1987, McCain was reelected in 2004 with nearly 77% of the vote.

America has millions of these fools that will go for anything that feeds them freebies.
This is the first time I disagree with this poll.
Remember Soros is in the background. Just vote McCain out. He is a loser.
All of us, just like every other time?
You have to understand, this time he's running against a conservative. That's why he using money good people contributed to defeat Obama in this race instead.
Any cogent explanation from Arizonan voters?
1) Voters have a short attention span and since it's an election year, McCain is pretending to be tough on immigration, OR
2) The polls are canvassing the wrong people or are a sham to discourage Hayworth efforts.
I am not from Arizona, but if Hayworth has changed little from his media days in Upstate South Carolina, I think the voters fear the snake oil salesman in Hayworth more than they fear the Rinoism of McLame. The old trust the devil you know thing.
After. :-(
Well, crap...magritte
AZ has open primaries. "Likely GOP Primary Voters" includes all the Democrats and independents who want to vote in the GOP Primary to keep conservatives out of the general election.
Kinda neat. Dem vs. Dem; one of them is guaranteed to win.
“It’s hard for me to square Arizonan voters supporting both the State’s new immigration law and McAmnesty. Not to mention the rising desire from Pubbies and Dems alike to throw the incumbents out.

It is also the relentless negative ads McCain is using against JD Hayworth.
But there’s actually good new in these 2 article below.

McCain has already spent so much of his money and JD has sandbagged what he had to work with that there should be near parity in advertising this last month of the election. Again, advertising should be as close to equal as it it going to be. McCain is still extremely vulnerable on his record and JD has the truth on his side, which will make JD’s ads all the more effective.
This isn’t over folks. We can still win this! A month is plenty of time to turn this around. So please don’t give up on us, we haven’t. Send money, we’ll get it done. http://www.jdforsenate.com/
