Rasmussen: McCain routs Obama in Arkansas

McCain is polling at 57% in Arkansas compared to Obama's 33%. Rasmussen Markets shows that Republicans are currently given a 79.9% chance of winning Arkansas and its six Electoral College votes on Nov. 4. That's pretty stunning for a state with all seven constitutional officers, five of the six congressionals, and over 75% of the Legislature being made up of Democrats. The same poll shows that Hillary Clinton would beat McCain by 14. Here's the Arkansas Business article.
