Politics Rasmussen: Hayworth Closing Gap With McCain
Posted by Jim Nintzel on Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 5:17 PM
Rasmussen's latest poll shows Hayworth just seven points behind McCain:
Longtime incumbent John McCain now leads conservative challenger J.D. Hayworth by just seven points in Arizona’s hotly contested Republican Senate Primary race.The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Arizona GOP Primary voters shows McCain ahead 48% to 41%. Three percent (3%) favor another candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided.
Following the announcement that Sarah Palin would campaign for his reelection, McCain opened up a 53% to 31% lead over Hayworth in January. The two men were in a near tie in November.
But now Hayworth, a former congressman turned popular local talk radio host, is a formal candidate, and anti-immigration activist Chris Simcox has quit the race and endorsed him. For McCain, the new numbers also show him dropping again below 50%, and incumbents who poll less than 50% at this stage of a campaign are considered potentially vulnerable.

The voters of AZ, the true voters of AZ will not vote for Hayworth. His past, his associations, his morals, his ethical issues, his record vs McCain....ALL give us more reasons to vote McCain. JD has proven to be nothing short of an unintelligent blowhard with nothing to offer- Vote McCain if you want to continue watching this liberal administration get blocked, McCain knows how to stop the spending, McCain knows how to stop the Obamacare, McCain knows what the heck he is doing!

I am voting for McCain. I have noticed a surge in McCain activity, especially this past year on key issues. McCain continues to fight against the massive spending that is going on in Washington, continues to fight against govt run healthcare, continues to fight for our Nations Security, continues to stand against earmarks, continues to fight for Arizona. This election will not be close, Arizona knows we need McCain
McCain may keep fighting, but he continues loosing his fights. Such a RINO, it's time to retire him.
