(Angus Reid Global Monitor) – Republican John McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama in the Bluegrass State, according to a review of the latest four voting intention polls. 54.5 per cent of voters in Kentucky would support the Arizona senator in today’s United States presidential election, while 41 per cent would back the Illinois senator.
McCain surpasses the 50 per cent mark in each of the four surveys.
In 2004, Republican George W. Bush carried Kentucky’s eight electoral votes, with 60 per cent of all cast ballots. The Bluegrass State has picked the eventual White House dweller in every presidential election since 1964.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The U.S. presidential election is scheduled for Nov. 4.
