METHODOLOGY: This section was developed from Congressional Quarterly's Floor Votes. Votes where Statements of Administration Policy were available were indicated by a note that states "A ‘yea'/'nay' was a vote in support of the president's position." Those votes and the Administration position was compiled and compared with John McCain's voting record on those votes. Back-up is available.
McCain Voted with President Bush 377 Times. Since 2001, John McCain has voted in support of the President's position 377 times. The table below outlines the number of votes cast, where the President's position was indicated by a Statement of Administration Policy, and the number of time McCain voted with the President:

McCain Supported Bush 92 Percent in 2004. According to Congressional Quarterly, McCain supported President Bush a majority of the time-supporting Bush as much as 92 percent in 2004. According to CQ, "CQ tries to determine what the president personally, as distinct from other administration officials, does and does not want in the way of legislative action. This is done by analyzing his messages to Congress, news conference remarks and other public statements and documents."
