John McCain’s lead over Barack Obama in Arkansas remains stable, as the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds the Republican leading 54% to 44%.

The race has changed little from September, when McCain held a nine-point lead. Since tracking of the race began in March, McCain’s leads have ranged from nine to 29 percentage points over Obama in the Natural State.

Arkansas has cast its six Electoral College votes for Republican candidates in five out of the last seven Presidential elections. The only exceptions were when former Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton was on the Presidential ballot. In 2004, George W. Bush won the state by a 54% to 45% margin.

McCain’s lead among unaffiliated voters in Arkansas jumped from 25 points in September to 34 points in the latest poll. He also leads 58% to 39% among men. Women are more evenly divided between the candidates.

McCain is viewed favorably by 61% and unfavorably by 37% of Arkansas voters. Obama’s reviews are 46% favorable, 53% unfavorable.
