The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Kansas shows John McCain leading Barack Obama by ten percentage points, 47% to 37%. Six percent (6%) say they’d vote for a third-party candidate while 10% remain undecided.

That ten-point advantage is half the lead the Republican enjoyed a month ago, before Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. Nationally, since clinching the nomination, Obama has enjoyed a modest bounce in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

McCain is viewed favorably by 62% of Kansas voters while Obama earns positive reviews from 49%. McCain’s rating is up a point over the past month while Obama has gained four points. The presumptive Democratic nominee traces his family roots to Kansas where his mother was born and his maternal grandmother still lives.

The candidates are essentially even among women, but McCain leads by more than twenty points among men. McCain wins 76% of the Republican vote, Obama is supported by 70% of Democrats, and the candidates are even among unaffiliated voters. Thirty-two percent (32%) of unaffiliated voters are not committed to either candidate.

1. That's shocking.

As more female Hillary supporters come around, Obama's numbers will go up among both women and democrats. And if he gets 60/40 of the unaffiliated undecideds, this could be a race.

3. Yea, he's definitely polling better there than Kerry did.

4. I am a Kansan and that is great for Obama

A Democrat has not won this state since 1964. So these are really good numbers for Obama.

5. Didn't Kansas pass some kind of intelligent design law?

I apologize to Kansans but you're state is a whacked as we are in NC. AFter all, we kept electing Jesse Helms.
