MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Republican John McCain is still the favorite of Alabama voters when matched against either Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama.

That's according to a statewide poll of likely voters, conducted for the Press-Register of Mobile. The survey also found that 45% feel the economy is the nation's biggest problem, up from 30% in mid-February.

The telephone survey of 413 registered voters was conducted between last Monday and Thursday by the University of South Alabama Polling Group. The margin of error is plus or minus 5%age points.

McCain was favored by 52% to 30% of those surveyed against Clinton while 5% picked another candidate and 13% didn't know or didn't answer.

Going head-to-head against Obama, McCain was chosen by a 57-33% margin. Another 2% chose a different candidate and 11% were undecided or didn't answer.link

Alabama hasn't voted for the democratic candidate since Carter in 1976.

I, like many would be surprised if Obama won here or came within 8 percentage points or less.

Plus, I know it wouldn't flucuate much, but wonder how much polls would be affected by McCain's V.P choice or Obama's or Clinton's V.P. choice.
