John McCain
may have been the Republican Party's national standard bearer last
year, but now it looks like he may have a hard time just hanging on to
his Senate seat.
A new Rasmussen Reports poll of likely 2010 GOP primary voters in Arizona finds the longtime incumbent in a virtual tie with potential challenger, J.D. Hayworth. McCain earns 45% of the vote, while Hayworth picks up 43%.
Another candidate, anti-illegal immigration activist Chris Simcox, is picking up 4%.
Hayworth, 51, a conservative former U.S. congressman who now is a popular radio talk show host in Phoenix, is reportedly interested in the race but has not formally declared for it.
