Barack Obama may trace his roots to Kansas, but new polling data shows he’s not likely to win the state’s six Electoral College votes this fall.Republican presidential candidate John McCain leads Obama 52% to 32% in the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Kansas voters. When “leaners” are included, it’s McCain 58% and Obama 35%.
Those results are similar to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted in May. In between, a June survey showed Obama pulling within 10 points in Kansas. However, that poll was conducted shortly after he had clinched the Democratic presidential nomination.
Several surveys conducted during that period reflected a bounce for the presumptive Democratic nominee as he basked in the glow of his historic accomplishment. Obama still holds a modest lead nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
In the new survey, McCain is viewed favorably by 66% of Kansas voters while Obama earns positive reviews from 44%. McCain’s numbers are up four points from a month ago while Obama’s are down five.
McCain wins 79% of the Republican vote; Obama is supported by 65% of Democrats. McCain now leads by 17% among unaffiliated voters. The two candidates were essentially even among unaffiliateds last month.
