Arkansas: McCain Leads Clinton, Overwhelms Obama

Rasmussen Reports: Nationally, today's Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows John McCain leading both potential Democratic candidates by seven percentage points. McCain leads Barack Obama, 48% to 41% and also leads Hillary Clinton 49% to 42%. Daily tracking results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time (see recent daily general election results).

However, Rasmussen Reports last month reviewed Arkansas and reported: In the state where she served as First Lady in the 1980s, Hillary Clinton trails John McCain by seven percentage points in a hypothetical general election match-up. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows McCain attracting 50% of the vote while Clinton earns 43%. However, when Barack Obama is presented as the Democratic option, McCain leads 59% to 30% in Arkansas. Clinton is viewed favorably by 50% of voters in her former home state while 47% have an unfavorable view. As with all polling on the Democratic hopeful, there is a significant gender gap. She earns favorably reviews from 59% of women and 39% of men.
McCain is viewed favorably by 66% and unfavorably by 30%. For Obama, the reviews are 35% favorable and 62% unfavorable.
