McCain has the support of 96% of the state’s Republicans and 18% of Democrats. Obama is backed by 77% of Idaho Democrats and three percent (3%) of GOP voters. Unaffiliated voters give McCain the edge by a whopping 63% to 30%.
Thirty-seven percent (37%) have a Very Favorable opinion of the Republican nominee, while 43% have a Very Unfavorable view of Obama.
Those feelings extend toward the vice presidential candidates as well. Not only do 65% of Idaho voters think McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin was the right one, but 57% have a Very Favorable view of the Alaska governor. Fifteen percent (15%) see Palin in a Very Unfavorable light.
By contrast, only 28% think Obama made the right choice in picking Delaware Senator Joseph Biden as his running mate. While 18% say their opinion of Biden is Very Favorable, nearly twice as many (33%) say they have a Very Unfavorable view of him.
I live in Northern VA. There are liberal idiots everywhere here (we are probably outnumbered 2-1). Maybe I should retire to Idaho.

If McCain/Palin can’t take Idaho, we are all in trouble.
Where are the ‘does Obama have a red state problem’ reports?
Great news!.....but I’m wondering why Rassmussen (or whoever paid them) wasted money on polling Idaho. Unless something really really funky happens Idaho will vote R without question.
I guess they love all the lefty elitists dumping on Idaho universities.
C’mon Howard Dean, what about your “50 state” strategy?? Let’s see you pour some millions into ID, WY, UT.....
Or in the case of Obama’s campaign be sure to follow the “57 state” strategy.
No shock there. I’m surprised they even invested the money to do a major poll there. Everyone and their mother knows that it will go red in a landslide. It went 69%-30 in 2004 and 69%-28% in 2000.
No surprise here.
