Arizona Senators Kyl and McCain Favorable Ratings Continue to Drop

Fewer Arizonans Giving Favorable Ratings to Senators McCain, Kyl

Sen. Jon Kyl received positive scores of 29 percent, down from 35 percent in January and 4 percent last September.

PHOENIX (AP) _ A new survey indicates fewer Arizonans appear to be giving favorable job ratings to the state's two U.S. senators, Republicans John McCain and Jon Kyl.

The Behavior Research Center says 36 percent of 500 adults it surveyed gave positive performance scores to McCain, down from 40 percent in January and 38 percent last September.

Kyl received positive scores of 29 percent, down from 35 percent in January and 4 percent last September.

The center suggests that the lower scores may reflect voter disenchantment with partisan politics in Washington. But it also notes that both senators' positive scores still trump their negative ones.

The survey is based on interviews conducted June 30 through July 11. The possible margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.

Good.  Maybe the people of Arizona will wake up in time to rid us all of that constant aisle crosser McCain who supported infringing on free speech (McCain-Feingold) and who supported amnesty (McCain-Kennedy) as recently as 2007.
