News from Arkansas

I don't, but you might (follow polls that is) and since this was reported today on our local news I thought I'd share.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – In response to the 10th annual Arkansas Poll, a strong majority of Arkansans ranked the economy as the most important problem facing Arkansas. Although this finding lines up with national polling results – results that appear to give Sen. Barack Obama the edge in the presidential race – voters in Arkansas prefer Sen. John McCain to Obama, 49 percent to 36 percent.

Arkansas Poll: In Arkansas ?It?s the Economy? and it is also McCain - FOX16.com

Among those who identify themselves as Republicans, 90 percent support McCain. Obama is supported by 67 percent of Democrats, with 16 percent of Democrats not reporting whom they plan to support. In comparison, exit polls in the 2004 presidential election showed that 82 percent of Democrats supported John Kerry. Independents, who are nearly a third of the Arkansas electorate, are breaking for McCain, 53 to 30 percent.

Greetings from Arkansas,
X

And this is suppose to be news or a surprise.....why, exactly? Arkansas has always been listed as a strong R state for the last 2 elections and also this election....never was leaning to Obama and the 6 votes from EC from there were never slated for Obama. Nothing new here...this is like saying that Texas will be voting for McCain.

I am very confident that Senator Obama will win...but not confident to the point that I believe people should take it for granted and think maybe it doesn't matter if they vote or not. We all need to put those absentee ballots in the mail or make sure we walk our butts to our polling places .. and make sure our friends do too.
