McCain leads among young and old, male and female, rich and poor, college educated and less educated, frequent worshippers and not-so-frequent. 22% of Democrats cross-over to vote Republican, compared to 13% of Republicans who cross-over to vote Democratic. Independents break 6:5 for McCain. Pro-Choice voters split. Pro-Life voters back McCain 4:1. Both presidential candidates have attracted more support from their respective parties. McCain is now backed by 83% of Kansas Republicans, Obama by 76% of the state�s Democrats. Unaffiliated voters are evenly divided � 38% for McCain, 37% for Obama � with 14% preferring an unspecified third-party candidate and 11% undecided.

For the second month in a row, McCain is viewed favorably by 66% of Kansas voters. Obama ranks favorably with 48%, up four percent from July and nearly identical with where he was in June. Fifty-two percent (52%) have an unfavorable view of Obama, compared to 33% who feel that way about his GOP rival.

One wild card this year is the state�s popular Democratic governor, Kathleen Sebelius, who is among those being touted as a possible running mate for Obama.

But like most Americans, 68% think finding new sources of energy is more important than reducing the amount of energy the United States now consumes. Just over half (51%) believe that high gas prices are more likely to reduce energy consumption than government regulation, while 28% believe regulation will have more impact.

Fifty-five percent (55%) say the United States and its allies are winning the war on terror, versus 18% who say the terrorists are winning. Again, these numbers reflect a growing belief nationwide that the War on Terror is going America�s way.

However, red state or not, 44% of Kansas voters agree with Obama that Afghanistan is the central front in the war on terror, while only 26% believe that of Iraq. Forty-four percent (44%) also say Afghanistan is a greater threat to the national security of the United States than Iraq, but 30% believe Iraq is the bigger threat.

This is a monthly synopsis of many more 2008 Kansas polls.
