I saw an approval rating of 40% for Senator Boozman. In a high-participation election he could lose to a moderate Democrat, especially if Barack Obama loses relevance in the campaign.
Were you asleep in 2014? Did you not see how every single Democrat got stomped on? Not to mention his disapproval rating is probably less than 40%, but Democrats in Arkansas are a thing of the past.
ElectionsGuy, please stop concern trolling. We all know that Cotton only won because Democratic turnout in the big cities and the Little Rock suburbs was at a record low. With Hillary at the top of the ticket, such disastrous approval ratings and sky-high Democratic turnout, Boozman is done. He will get blanched, yes, his ceiling may be lower than 40%. In fact, Republicans have a better chance of picking up the open seat in CA than keeping this seat in Republican hands.
Ok, I don't think this guy is going to win, but if there's one place in the country where Obama has been uniquely hurting the Dem brand and Clinton would be uniquely strong, it's Arkansas. It would be very foolish not to have someone credible on the ballot when Clinton could win the state vs. Trump.
