Interesting... Arkansas has been somewhat underpolled lately. Pryor comeback? Cotton led by 7 in the last Rasmussen poll, in September.

It seems like nearly every state is in the same place, with a Republican lead of 2-4 points.  This is torturous.

This poll is not counting black voters. They are worth at least 3 or 4 percentage points, and Pryor will win 90% of them.

Do you even have a link or are you just doing an Ace Ventura?

I think this race will get very interesting soon.  I saw the debate the other night and Cotton was very boring, stiff, and sleepy.  that could have an impact.

Yeah, but, in fairness, he's pretty much always been that way.

What do you mean it "doesn't count" black voters? They will be around 15% of Arkansas electorate.

Rassy's polling seems exceptionally bad this season.

Why? This result seems reasonable.

Just in general. I don't buy Cotton +11 with "certain voters"

My guess is that it begins with "Keystone" and ends with "Phil". :P

-If Mark Pryor lost only by three points I would call that a good night for him, and respectable way to leave Arkansas politics, given that Obama one the presidency nationally by 4, and lost in that state by more than 20 points as I recall. FAR from a battleground state anymore. Ditto for Louisiana.

-If Pryor Wins, it will show that the public (as I suspect) wants the gov. to do more than ensure an environment where the wealth of the american middle class continues to be  redistributed to the wealthiest business owners a crossed the land while  ensuring that those whom control the purse strings of our democracy also make the decisions of governing.

-What the voters of Arkansas need to be asking themselves is can the nation afford another senator, whom would never in his life vote for any program which helps give the disadvantaged a boost out of poverty, but would instead focus on providing corporate welfare by allowing corporations and millionaires whom profited from the american economic system to shirk their responsibility to the nation and to all its citizens. We also need to ask some simple questions such as , can we truly justify the concept that the businessman works harder than the middle class scientists whom works day and night to advance more than the size of his pocket book, or that just because we have a capitalists system businessmen are the only ones whom should be at the table making decisions about how the nations wealth is divided and what level of gouging or greed is indeed adequate?
