State data from National Survey of
15,000 Likely Voters May 1-31, 2004

June 6, 2004--In Arkansas, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds President George W. Bush leading Senator John F. Kerry 48% to 43%. That five point lead matches the five point victory Bush enjoyed in Arkansas four years ago. Our previous survey had found the candidates tied, 45%-45%. Like Arkansas, most states polled so far this year are showing similar results to four years ago. However, in Pennsylvania, Bush is doing better at the moment than he did against Al Gore. The President is behind his pace from four years ago in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Fifty-one percent (51%) of Arkansas voters Approve of the way Bush is performing his job as President. That figure is similar to the President's national Job Approval rating. Data for Arkansas will updated again early next month. Rasmussen Reports has also recently released polling data for the states of Michigan, Maine, South Carolina, Alabama, 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.
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 Arkansas, 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. |
