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.

My Democrat S-I-L thinks he’s great.

“He walked in there with a Bloody Scar from his Surgery and did what he felt was right”. Blah, blah, blah.

Since the polling done these days is heavily skewed “Demonrat”, usually by numbers like +12 and +14, it stands to reason that the Demonrats “best friend” in the Senate would have a nice, higher approval rating, especially after his backstabbing vote on Obamacare.

In fact, the polling reflects that McLame is up to 58% among democrats but, markedly lower for republicans...

Not so fast . . . 47%’ers + 11% of Republicans with their head up their ass = 58%. I can believe that McLame’s approval numbers shot up on this issue.

The only person in the entire world that would believe this poll is Maxine Waters. Even Sheila Jackson Lee would know better.

“He walked in there with a Bloody Scar from his Surgery and did what he felt was right”. Blah, blah, blah.

...which would be admirable, were it not for the fact that what he thinks is right is almost always wrong, and worse, counter to the wishes of his constituents, AND counter to what he said when he was campaigning.

They made a mistake. People polled probably thought the pollster asked if they approved of his demise from brain cancer.
