Hillary Clinton Still Tops in Arkansas Poll
Former Arkansas first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and retired Army General Wesley Clark, both Democrats, were the favored candidates over Republican Governor Mike Huckabee among Arkansans polled about hypothetical 2008 presidential races.
Opinion Research Associates of Little Rock conducted the survey for Arkansas News Bureau-Stephens Media Group. In a head-to-head match up, 49 percent of respondents said they would vote for Clinton, 36 percent favored the governor, and 15 percent were undecided.
In a match up between Clark and Huckabee, 51 percent favored Clark, 37 percent said they would vote for Huckabee, and 12 percent were undecided. Opinion Research surveyed 500 registered voters by telephone August 15 through the 19th. The poll had a margin of error of four and a half percentage points.
Clinton was first lady of Arkansas before becoming first lady of the nation when Bill Clinton went to the White House in 1993. She now is a U.S. senator for New York, and says she is focused on her re-election bid although many say she may run for president.
Story Continues Below Clark, an Arkansan and former NATO commander, made an unsuccessful bid for Democratic presidential nominee in 2004. Huckabee has been governor for ten years and cannot seek re-election because of term limits, but has been considering a race for president in 2008.
