Poll: John McCain’s low job approval (The fight for 2016 starts today)
Politico ^ | 3/6/14 | Tal Kopan

Posted on 11/06/2014 3:48:20 PM PST by Viennacon

Sen. John McCain is the least popular senator in the country of those surveyed by Public Policy Polling, with low marks from members of his own party, independents and Democrats.

Just 30 percent of Arizona voters approve of the job the Republican senator is doing, while 54 percent disapprove, according to a PPP release Thursday. That is the worst of any senator’s polling in the nation that PPP has found.

Among members of his own party, McCain is at 35 percent approval to 55 percent disapproval; the comparable figures among Democrats are 29 percent to 53 percent, and among independents, 25 percent to 55 percent.

McCain also trails most potential challengers if he chooses to run again in 2016. Former Rep. Gabby Giffords led McCain 42 percent to 35 percent in a hypothetical matchup, and former Surgeon General Richard Carmona led McCain 41 percent to 35 percent.

Let’s put Johnny, Mittens, the Jebster, and Bob “Let’s Make Deal!” Dole on the ticket. I’m sure it’ll be a winner!

John McCain is the MadMan Muntz of the Senate, except unlike the original Madman Muntz all McCain has to sell is Bullshiite.

This is the most dangerous two years for us for McCain’s votes. He will be almost 80 in 2016 and will probably retire. He won’t even have to pretend he has some Republican principles.

And, yes. He could be even worse than he has been.
