President George W. Bush and Senator John F. Kerry are tied in Arkansas. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey in that state found both men earning 45% of the vote. Adding Ralph Nader's name to the poll has absolutely no impact in this key Southern state. Just 49% of Arkansas voters believe the U.S. is winning the War on Terror. Thirty percent (30%) believe the terrorists are winning. Forty-nine percent (49%) of Arkansas voters say they trust Bush more than Kerry when it comes to national defense issues, but 42% prefer Kerry. On a national basis, the President has a larger advantage on this issue. Matching their ballot preference, each candidate is preferred by 45% of Arkansas voters when it comes to managing the economy. However, a majority (51%) believe that the nation's economy is getting worse. Just 36% say it is getting better. Overall, 31% of Arkansas voters rate the economy as good or excellent; 33% say fair; and 34% poor. President Bush is viewed favorably by 51% in Bill Clinton's home state while 47% have a favorable opinion of the Senator from Massachusetts. Rasmussen Reports has recently released state polling data for the Presidential race in Wisconsin, Oregon, California, New Hampshire, New Jersey, West Virginia, Florida, and Colorado. Earlier surveys were conducted in Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ohio, and Missouri. On a national basis this time around, the Rasmussen Reports Presidential Election Tracking Poll has found Bush and Kerry virtually even for weeks. Ralph Nader is not included by name in the national Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll. We believe it is inappropriate to include Nader unless he attains ballot status in a substantial number of states Rasmussen Reports is an electronic publishing firm specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.
