Rasmussen: Giuliani ahead in GOP Primary, beats Clinton

McCain's fervent support of the troop increase will only hurt him unless something drastic changes.

Actually, I think it might not. Honestly, what else is there to do? The status quo, or try to help the situation by adding more troops?

I'm not convinced that it's hurting him much in the GOP primary race.  The general election is a different story.  Yes, his support in this particular poll is low, but I think it's an outlier.  We haven't seen such low support for McCain in other polls.

This graph:

actually shows that, at least as of polls taken a week ago, McCain's GOP support was as strong as ever.  Other than this one poll by Rasmussen, have we seen McCain's GOP support trailing off at all since then?

It's doesn't appear to be that way.
