I'm sure he's broken up about that.

Holy undecideds, Batman!

[Lief 🗽]

It's hard work deciding between a Morman and a Black.

[J. J.]

Still a uni poll, but does anyone expect Obama to be even close in AR?

.......no?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

It seems to actually be 53-34, not 58-31. Or it could be 58-34.

Actually there are quite a few blacks in Arkansas.

Well yeah, Obama's not polling at 0% here for a reason.

Arkansas leans democrat (conservative old school dems) typically especially state races, Obama has really hurt the democratic party here, republicans have made and are making historic gains. Obamacare is terribly unpopular here. That's why sen lincoln got landslided and sen pryor(d) is gone in two yrs. The only one who survived was Gov Beebe, highly liked and fairly conservative for a dem, terming out. 

Only fairly populated spot is nw arkansas thats overly republican.

If Romney is doing as good as Reagan in the Plains and South, there's a very good chance he can lose this a election with a PV majority.

[Mister Twister]

Who would Arkansas vote for if the choice was between a black and a gay?

Yep. Romney may even do better than Bush in most of the Plains and the South. But we still haven't seen the movement from the swing states that one would expect from somebody who is leading the national average. I think it's very possible for Romney to win the popular vote and for President Obama to win 280+ electoral votes. Shows how polarized the election really is.

Pryor has >50% approvals, according to the poll (his disapprovals are at 20-something). Though the damage Obama unfortunately did to the AR Dems won't be healed for a while (it would probably take a realignment for the state to again become Democratic at a national level), some of it will come back in 2016 unless the Democratic nominee is somehow less suitable for Arkansas than Obama (I can't think of any plausible ones).

Pryor will be tossed, I promise.  His support of card check ticked off every business in Arkansas not to mention Obamacare.  I promise you there will be a unified effort on the part of businesses in Arkansas to toss him.  We did the same thing to Lincoln, I got involved in that and there are the same plans for him.  Pryor knows his days are numbered.
