Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has decided to troll conservatives and therefore will run for re-election in 2016. Despite his long tenure in Washington, however, he may be in a lot of trouble, according to a new PPP poll. While his numbers are perfectly fine among self-identified Right-leaning moderates, the fact that conservatives are angry with him and jumping ship might jeopardize his chances of winning a sixth term.
It's his struggles on the right that have McCain imperiled, the poll finds. He gets narrowly positive reviews from both 'somewhat conservative' (51/37) and moderate (50/44) Republicans. But among those who identify themselves as 'very conservative,' just 21% approve of the job McCain is doing to 71% who disapprove. 83% of voters within that group say they would be more inclined to vote for an alternative on McCain's right next year compared to only 11% who actually say they would vote for McCain.
Thats to be expected. After all, Arizona Republicans censored him last year because he was (ahem) too liberal, right around the same time he was surveyed as the least popular US Senator in Washington by his constituents.
Fortunately for him, however, not all is lost; he edges all of his presumptive Republican challengers.

I think we should start a prayer thread that McCain gets a chance to retire...
Please! Oh, Please! Oh, Please! Oh, Please! :)
We can hope.
Well I would like to say for the record, thank you John McCain for picking Sarah Palin as your running mate.
That was brilliant, and almost worked.
I was very impressed. Thank you for that, I am completely serious.
That said, I am not at all sad he may lose. Other than picking an awesome Vice Presidential candidate, I don’t really support him in much of anything.
I feel that of the two 2008 candidates, John McCain was actually the worse choice.
Barack Obama has engineered a systemic weakness in the American system.
John McCain, however, would have started a World War, which would have quite likely gone nuclear.
If this happens = proof there really IS a God.....
Right.. we heard that same noise in 2010, too.
I cannot help but think back to 2014 and the Mississippi primary and “runoff”.
Does anyone out there think the Arizona Republicans are any different than the Mississippi Republicans?
I think the man is insane, myself. Angry, vengeful, and contrary (the Maverick against conservatives instead of liberals).
Please Lord, let it be so.
Please, oh please, Arizona, kick that semi -sentient living feces ball so hard he (it) lands in the mid-Pacific.
This has been a really crappy week for me; however, this really starts my day on an UP-TICK!
With Conservative help and God willing, we can finally get rid of this POS!!
Its people like McCain (who wasn’t supposed to win re-election in 2012) which has me convinced that free and fair elections in the US is only an illusion.
GRIN
Hmmm.
Good. Replace him with a Constitutionalist.
mclame is not going anywhere-
IF he were to loose the primary- he would run as a
“Maverick” independent— probably triangulate the
election— so that a democrat can win,
