Alabama: Bush 57% Kerry 36%

Saturday, June 05, 2004

Alabama's 9 Electoral Votes. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds President George W. Bush leading Senator John F. Kerry in the state by a 57% to 36% margin.

Four years ago, Bush carried Alabama by a 57% to 41% margin.

Sixty percent (60%) of Alabama voters Approve of the way Bush is performing his job as President. That figure is well above the President's national Job Approval rating.

Among Alabama men, the President leads 61% to 34%. Among women, Bush leads 53% to 38%. Just 68% of the state's Democrats say they will vote for John Kerry.

Nationally, our daily Tracking Poll also shows that Election 2004 so far is similar to Election 2000--a dead heat.

Data for Alabama will updated again early next month. Rasmussen Reports has also recently released polling data for the states of Minnesota, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Oregon, Missouri, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Texas, California and Ohio. Other state polling data will be released each day this week.

Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, has been an independent pollster for more than a decade.

This data has been compiled from a national telephone survey of 15,000 Likely Voters conducted by Rasmussen Reports from May 1-31, 2004. Each night (except Mothers’ Day), 500 interviews with Likely Voters were conducted. National results for the survey during that time frame show that President Bush and Senator Kerry each attracted 45% of the vote. State-by-state samples carry a margin of error that varies from +/- 3 percentage points to +/- 5 percentage points depending upon the state. Data for California, Texas, and New York carries a 3 percentage point margin of error. For Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, the margin of error is +/- 4 percentage points. For all other states, the margin of error is +/- 5 percentage points. In all cases, the margin of error is expressed with a 95% level of confidence. In some states, oversampling and supplemental interviews were used to obtain an adequate sample size for reporting purposes.
