Only 30 percent of voters in the state of Arizona approve of the job McCain is doing, while 54 percent disapprove, according to a Public Policy Polling released on Thursday.
The finding is the worst approval rating for any American senator that the survey has found.
The survey found that the 77-year-old hawkish senator is unpopular with Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike.
McCain has a 35 percent approval and 55 percent disapproval rating among Republicans; a 29 percent approval and 53 percent disapproval rating with Democrats, and a 25 percent approval and 55 percent disapproval rating among independents.
Despite his old age, McCain has said he is considering running for another term in the Senate in 2016. McCain unsuccessfully ran for the White House in 2008 when he lost to then Democratic candidate and current US President Barack Obama.
On Monday, the pro-war senator sharply criticized Obama’s foreign policy during a speech at the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
During his speech, McCain said Russia’s military deployment to Ukraine's Crimea region is “the ultimate result of a feckless foreign policy where nobody believes in America’s strength anymore.”
He also blasted Obama for not invading Syria last summer following reports of a chemical weapons attack that Washington blamed on the Syrian government.
McCain told pro-Israel attendees at the AIPAC conference a new sanctions bill against Iran should be passed by Congress.
