McCain Comes In Fourth Among Republicans In Poll Conducted In His Home State
Probably the worst number for McCain is the 15% of voters who would find a third-party candidate if McCain were the nominee.
Arizona is the home state for John McCain, but Fred Thompson is the strongest GOP Presidential candidate in the state at this time.
A Rasmussen Reports telephone survey found that Thompson leads Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton by seventeen percentage points, 51% to 34%. Thompson will be formally announcing his candidacy this week.
Rudy Giuliani, who leads the polls for the Republican Presidential nomination, leads Clinton by eleven points, 49% to 38%. McCain has a ten-point edge over Clinton, 46% to 36%. With McCain as the GOP candidate, 15% of Arizona voters say they’d select a third party option. Mitt Romney is the weakest of the GOP candidates in Arizona but still leads Clinton by seven points, 46% to 39%.
At this point I think it’s time for McCain to give up on the White House and just concentrate on keeping his Senate seat. Though, really, conservatives shouldn’t want him to hold on to even that.
