Story Highlights
Favorability among Democrats up sharply, down among Republicans
Highest McCain favorable rating since November 2008
Rare for politician's party base to be less positive than other party
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Arizona Sen. John McCain's favorable rating is 58% after he cast the vote that sank GOP attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. That is five points higher than McCain's previous reading from August 2015, with a surge in Democratic favorability more than making up for a decline among McCain's fellow Republicans.

The ultimate in a fake news story. Winner of the year - how do they even dream this krap up, anyway?
More fake polling.
I refuse to believe that McCain’s popularity was ever above 8% on the very best day of his life.
He is a uniquely dislikeable, nasty man.
Bull Obama!
They must have polled the senate.
Maybe polling was among Democrats. His people.
Fake poll.
translation: 58% of Americans are too polite to say something negative about a guy who is dying from a brain tumor.
If it is a true polling number, he is reaping “the poor guy has a brain tumor and is dying” vote.
Oh no, it’s not “fake polling”.
The results are EXACTLY CORRECT polling - The democrats realize McCain saved them; the republican voters realize he screwed them, screwed the country, and screwed Trump.
He should switch parties. I will not miss him.
He was at 30% last week. WTF?
People support McCain partly because of the fake reporting and partly out of sadness for his illness.
Of course the Dems would adore the Savior of Obamacare. Let it go totally broke this year and see how much they like it and McCain then.
He could run for Prez as a Democrat in 2020.
What the hell, the Dems ran a corpse the last time around.
A lot of people don’t want to think bad of someone who is likely to die in the near future. Me? Even in 2008, I was voting for Palin and against Obama. Loathed McCain then, and more now.
His numbers are up not because of the health care vote, but because of sympathy for the man diagnosed with a terrible and possibly fatal disease.
