(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Republican John McCain could carry the Yellowhammer State in this year’s United States presidential election, according to a poll by the Capital Survey Research Center. 47 per cent of respondents in Alabama would vote for the Arizona senator, while 34 per cent would back Democratic Illinois senator Barack Obama.
In a survey by Rasmussen Reports, McCain holds a 20-point lead over Obama.
In 2004, Republican George W. Bush won Alabama’s nine electoral votes, with 63 per cent of the vote. No Democrat has carried the Yellowhammer State since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
