John McCain has the second-lowest approval rating among U.S. senators, according to a new poll.

About one-third of Arizona's registered voters approve of McCain's job performance - 34 percent compared with 53 percent who disapprove of the job he's doing - according to a new poll by Public Policy Polling.

That's a drop from 40 percent approval in January.

Only Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) scored lower among sitting senators, 29 percent to 58 percent.

I’ve never met anyone who will admit to voting for him. Apparently there are large pockets of people who do, but no one I associate with. I wouldn’t be surprised about the ruling class rigging the elections for him. Everything about that open border elitist is a lie.

[pepsionice]

I don’t think he’s there for his full six-year term. It wouldn’t surprise me if he comes up after November of next year....and announces his retirement....letting Arizona to pick a replacement.

McCain also had a huge war chest. Money is the Mother’s milk of politics. The One will raise $1 billion for his 2012 reelection run.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Lieberman is at least honest enough not to pretend he is a republican!

McCain also had a huge war chest

And that should be investigated.

During the primaries, he was out of money -- but managed to survive. IIRC, he had to use the 'presidential fund' to continue his campaign.

Yet, for his Senate campaign, he somehow managed to have some $20 million left over from his presidential campaign and was allowed [? really ?] to use for his 2010 Senate campaign.

Something stinks -- and it isn't a 3-day-old fish.

Heck, Obama raised suspiciously large amounts of campaign money in 2008.

But who am I kidding? We already know where most of that came from.

Most real Arizonan’s voted for J.D. Hayworth. Unfortunately, we have a bunch of easterners and californian liberals and independents in Phoenix and Tucson that elected McQueeg.

Senator John McCain is a very OLD man. All respect due for his past courage and sacrifice. Everyone who has recently met him is amazed at how OLD he is. As a confessing old man, our brains cease to function in a timely manner. Some admit it, some don't.

McCain makes a perfect puppet or dupe.

Jan Brewer and Sarah Palin endorsed McCain in the primary against JD.

[charlie72]

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) should be ranked below the lowest. She is the reason we have Obama as President. Look it up—SR 511.

[kabar]

Obama got lots of money illegally from overseas.

[Stepan12]

The Arizonians only have themselves to blame. They didn't have to vote for McInsane.

Perhaps they are stupid people.

[RnMomof7]

They got what they voted for.. too late now ..the Jerks have to live with it

[McGavin999]

McCain spent almost 20 million demonizing Hayworth. Arizona didn’t re-elect him, they opted for the him over the supposedly bad guy Hayworth AND Sarah Palin helped get him elected.

[My Favorite Headache]

Yet the media this week called him the most important Republican Senator on CNN...lmao.

[Fireone]

Minnesota throws over half of its total state budget at the black hole called “education”. That means large, activist teacher unions who vote only for “the party”.
The voter fraud has become more rampant since the installation of Soros’ SOS, Mark Ritchie. There isn’t a viable brain cell between nutjob Dayton, Frankenfraud, and box of rocks, Amy Klobuchar.
I’m happy to be from Minnesota, but not happy with the way things are going.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Yet in Arizona they keep returning him to office.

Frankly, I think polls have become propaganda tools NOT attitude measurements. McCain must have angered someone, so he gets a bad poll.

[Yet_Again]

Doesn't matter. He's in for the next six years, and probably the next six after that.

Unlikely. If you'll notice his recent television shots, he never lets the camera see the left side of his face. He's always at an angle that obscures it...even in such shots it looks as if he has a sigificant swelling of his left Parotid gland raising the possibility of cancer...one that he likely had while running for re-election in Arizona.

I don't disagree, but I don't necessarily believe it either. It's PPP, the polling agency for Kos.

Anyone who believes Tom Jenson about anything is a fool.

Arizona’s open primaries permitted democrats to cross over in droves to vote for mccain knowing he was as good as electing one of their own. Arizona republicans are committing treason against all good AZ conservatives by not ending open primaries in favor of only registered republicans being permitted to vote for their own.
