Not likely, according to several sources:
Wildlife in Crisis Guidelines - Rabies - Don't Panic
If I see a raccoon out during the day, does it have rabies? Active during the daytime.
Raccoon biology and information Procyonis lotor See Myth #5
Up here in Ahia, we live in a rural area - lots of trees, crop and livestock fields.....and animal life. Coons seem to be out and about around here all the time. Though they're primarily out at night, it's not at all unusual that we see them during the day time.
