The Hill reports:
Forty-four percent of Republicans surveyed in the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Wednesday hold a negative view of McCain, while only 35 percent have a positive view of him. Meanwhile, 52 percent of Democrats surveyed now see him in a positive light.
Overall, 43 percent of survey respondents had a favorable view of McCain and 28 percent a negative one.
The Hill notes that, in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, 79 percent of Republicans viewed him positively.
