A recent poll found that more Republican voters have a favorable view of presidential candidate Donald Trump than they do of Arizona's long-time U.S. Senator, John McCain. The telephone survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports polled 1,000 people on July 20 and 21 and revealed that at least 52 percent of likely Republican voters reported having at least a somewhat favorable view of Trump, while 51 percent feel that way about McCain.
The margin of error for the study, +/- 3 percent, is greater than the difference in results, but when asked if they have a very favorable view of the politicians, the difference became more extreme: 26 percent of Republican voters have a very favorable view of Trump, while only 14 percent view McCain very favorably.
Polls are polls, we get that. But pause for one minute and consider the two people compared in this study. One is a real estate mogul who has no real political credentials other than a failed attempt to run for president, while the other has been a U.S. senator for 28 years. (Although, to be fair, he also has a failed attempt to run for president under his belt.)
Trump and McCain have been pitted against one another in recent weeks after Trump bashed McCain during a rally in Phoenix, and McCain responded by criticizing Trump for “firing up the crazies.”(continued)

No kidding?
That’s not what mcCANE said on OrEilly tonight. He is loved

Crazies is an enduring term

senile
This means that there is at least one Republican who likes Trump.
The bloviator BOR just had McStain on, after showing clips of Trump’s border visit! Ha!
BOR asks McStain why CONGRESS hasn’t done anything about our border. McShame blames it on 0bomba and the House.
Channel changed.
Of course, herpes and leprosy also beat McQueeg in polling.
I don’t get why any Republican would like either McCain or Trump.
The Phoenix Spew Times is a leftist news site. Just saying.
O'Reilly just called McCain a "pinhead!"
Dim, progressive D***heads are exploding nationwide...
So what legislation has McClain introduce to secure the border? Nada I suspect. BS deflection from McClame.

Yes, all the _____ New Times papers are leftist. So are the Nation, New Republic, Huffington Post, NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC, Guardian, NPR, Al Jazeera, Mother Jones and 1,000 others that are cited here all the time. They own the media. And don’t come back with Fox News & The Wall Street Journal. They’re at best center-left.
I didn’t like McCain or Romney much, and I like pro-Amnesty Jeb/Christie/Rubio even less. Trump is right on one issue, or at least saying the right things, and he’s better than those RINOs. I’ll have to hear his positions on the Second Amendment and repealing Obamacare, but I could probably vote for him reluctantly (unlike the pro-Amnesty RINOs, who will not get my vote).
Shameful. The R’s there look like a bunch of Gang of Eight wanabees, or were already in the gang.
Agree. AZ has to be so proud of their two Spineless Senators....not.
When was this vote taken?
I wish someone would get it to Trump.
I wish someone would get it to Trump.
They have....that’s where I got it ;-)
That’s not a big difference in favorability ratings, but i imagine John McCain thought his approval level would be at least 88 percent. Wrongo!
