A new poll shows Arizona Sen. John McCain widening his lead over his Republican challenger ahead of next month's GOP primary.
The Rocky Mountain Poll released Wednesday shows McCain leading former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth 64 percent to 19 percent. Political newcomer Jim Deakin had 5 percent.
McCain's margin has widened from a 54 percent to 28 percent lead he held over Hayworth in the same poll in April.
The telephone poll was conducted by the Behavior Research Center between June 30 and July 11 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.4 percentage points. Pollsters surveyed a random sample of 334 registered Arizona voters, including 190 Republicans and 144 independents who said they would vote in the Republican primary.

YES!!!
Congratulations, Sarah!
Has anyone noticed that the dumb blonde daughter is not appearing anywhere pushing same sex marriage etc?
Mark my words, if McLame wins, he’ll spend the next 4 years seeking revenge on conservatives for making him spend money for his re-election.
He will make Obama look conservative just out of spite.
“McCain leading former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth 64 percent to 19 percent. Political newcomer Jim Deakin had 5 percent.” Thanks Maelstorm. Seriously, is there anyone who was the least surprised by this?
I hope this isn’t accurate.
The first debate is this Friday at 7:00 p.m. It should be streaming at the azcentral.com website.
1. Arizona has an open primary (both parties can vote for McCain)
2. It’s never easy to unseat an incumbent from your own party
3. Hundreds of Palin commercials flooding the radio airwaves
4. Multiple Palin appearances with McCain in Arizona
5. Multiple Palin appearances on television supporting him
6. McCain shills flooding the internet with disinformation and disruption
Yep, it was J. D.’s to lose all right. And the sun is frozen solid too.You forgot #7. Outspent $12,500,000.00 to $575,000.00
I live in Arizona, and this poll is BULL$HIT
No, she doesn't.
Who do you think has more clout with Republican voters? Whose endorsement would Republican Candidates want more than Palin's?
How is JD going to explain almost a decade of support for McCain? Don’t get me wrong I like JD. However, he’s like the piano player in the whorehouse.
mcCain will revert back as soon as he wins the election. You cannot be McCain (politically) for fifty years then switch over night.
You might have answered you own question.
Wrong. Another BS poll like the phony Daily Kos polls that Soros was running for McCain. Still a lot of McCainiac AH’s on FR.
Oh BS, Sarah Palin isn’t responsible for reelecting McCain no matter how many times shebacks him. The voters are responsible for it Sarah is not holding a gun to anyones head to make him vote for McCain.
Soros funded the phony Daily Kos polls that were discredited to try to save McCain. This is BS.
MCCain-Feingold handed America to the Democrats, Islamics and Saudis. F McCain.
Hayworth is getting buried. This isn’t even close.
What went wrong? Bad candidate?
I am skeptical of this poll.
“Perhaps we should praise JD, after all in a few months he forced McCain to take some conservative positions. Something we could not accomplish for a decade.”
Yea, once he’s re-elected we’ll see exactly how many conservative positions he’s adopted. People never learn, and voters have to be among the most gullible people on the planet. It’s sort of how we tried to warn people during the last election that Obama’s speeches didn’t reflect his actual policies. And McCain has so many, many years on record that anyone falling for his flip-flops at this point is doing so on purpose.
The old JD would shine at debates. His radio time should of only polished that.
