If Rush Limbaugh ever decides to run for President, he can probably count on carrying the state of Arkansas against President Obama.
Public Policy Polling (D) is currently in the field in the state that gave us Bill Clinton, and their survey includes this question: “Between Rush Limbaugh and Barack Obama, who do you think has the better vision for America?”
So far, PPP communications director Tom Jensen tells me, Limbaugh is winning by about ten points. The numbers could potentially narrow between now and when the survey is finished over the weekend, but Jensen is sure that Limbaugh will end up winning.
Although Arkansas is the home of Bill Clinton, and generally elects Democrats to both state and federal offices, John McCain easily carried the state in 2008, winning by a margin of 59%-39%.
Late Update: PPP has also Twittered this other early bit of info: “Arkansas is definitely the birtherest state to date…it’s been fun but I think we’ll stop asking about it after this poll.”
