A new Rasmussen poll shows J.D. Hayworth gaining on John McCain:

Incumbent John McCain now earns just 47% support to challenger J.D. Hayworth’s 42% in Arizona’s hotly contested Republican Senate Primary race, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely primary voters.

McCain has been losing ground since January when he picked up 53% of the potential GOP Primary vote and Hayworth had only 31% support. Last month, the longtime senator and 2008 GOP presidential candidate earned 48% of the vote, while 41% of likely primary voters supported his challenger.

Meanwhile, Democrat Rodney Glassman trails both of them:

Newly announced Democratic candidate Rodney Glassman, a Tucson City Council member, earns 32% support to Senator John McCain’s 54%. Eight percent (8%) would vote for some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

If McCain’s GOP Primary challenger, former Congressman J.D. Hayworth, is the Republican in the race, he gets 48% support, while Glassman picks up 39% of the vote. Seven percent (7%) would opt for some other candidate, while another seven percent (7%) are undecided.

  1. So, overall, Glassman is set for defeat, based on early numbers.

    Did he dip his toe in too early? Arguably, should he have gone for state rep/state senator first?

    “Glassman is far less known by Arizona voters than either of the Republicans. Eight percent (8%) now view Glassman very favorably, while 14% view him very unfavorably,” according to the poll report.

    Or is it just that people don’t like Rodney Glassman. People like me. I have no idea why, but he rubs me the wrong way.

    Some politicans are politicians. Others look to help the community they live in.

  3. JD is a lost cause. McCain will win the election. Palin is a constant reminder of the out of control, wasteful spending in our country. We need to use this excitement, we need to support politicians like McCain who stand strong

  4. McCain is fighting against a complete govt takeover in healthcare, and will continue to fight for our Nation’s security
