Election 2010: Arizona Senate
Arizona Senate: McCain (R) 53%, Glassman (D) 34%
Monday, August 02, 2010
Incumbent Republican John McCain runs nearly 20 points ahead of his likeliest Democratic challenger, former Tucson Vice Mayor Rodney Glassman, in Arizona’s race for the U.S. Senate.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Arizona shows that McCain now leads Glassman 53% to 34%. Eleven percent (11%) prefer some other candidate in the contest, and three percent (3%) are undecided.
McCain’s strongest Republican Primary challenger, J.D. Hayworth, runs second in a match-up with Glassman. The Democrat earns 43% support, while the former GOP congressman picks up 38% of the vote. Thirteen percent (13%) favor someone else, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
Voters not affiliated with either major party prefer McCain over Glassman by a two-to-one margin, but they break nearly even if Hayworth is the Republican in the race.
For Glassman or any Democratic candidate, Arizona promises to be tough electoral territory this fall, with high voter opposition to the national health care plan and strong support for the state’s new immigration law, despite the U.S. Justice Department challenge of it. Arizona remains Solid GOP in the Rasmussen Reports Senate Balance of Power rankings.
The survey of 500 Likely Voters in Arizona was conducted on July 29, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted byPulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Just a reminder; Hayworth's 'Social Media Director' said this about the Rasmussen Poll:
Must be a miserable time over at Team Hayworth headquarters? Imagine losing to an unknown Dem like Glassman? Pretty embarassing don't you think?
This is the final "Nail" in Hayworth's Political coffin!
How does Team Desperato spin this one? They can't! They better start worrying that they beat Jim Deakin in the August 24th Primary election.
We have told you all along that Hayworth was not a good General Election candidate. This just proves what we have been saying all along!

There is nothing good about JD...and frankly, I am relieved we will not hear his voice in Washington again. He is not the honest, consistent conservative he claims to be. Hayworth has more problems then just polls, his entire reputation has fallen due to the facts of his life becoming known.
JD Hayworth is a slug who cannot tell the truth!
