[Mr. Morden]

Polling Company, Inc. did a 2016 presidential primary poll in Arkansas poll for the Washington Free Beacon:

Dems

Clinton 59%
Biden 14%

GOP

Paul 21%
Rubio 17%

They polled other names as well (including Cruz, Jindal, Christie, and Walker on the Republican side), but they say the support of each of those candidates was below 10% each, and they don't bother listing the numbers.

[Mehmentum]

I'm honestly surprised that Clinton isn't higher.

[Eraserhead]

I'm honestly surprised that Clinton isn't higher.

Same here.

[Tender Branson]

Yeah, Clinton should do stronger here I suppose, but remember the small sub-sample of Democrats in this poll (only ca. 200 polled).

So, the MoE is something like 7-8%.

While Clinton crushes her Democratic competition, her advantage narrows significantly when she is placed head-to-head with potential Republican challengers. A Clinton vs. Paul matchup shows the former secretary of state leading 48 percent to 45 percent, within the poll’s margin-of-error. In a face-off between Clinton and Christie, Clinton leads 44 percent to 42.

“Hillary Clinton is a former first lady of the state and the nation who ought to be able to surpass 50 percent in one of her “home” states among relative newcomers,” Conway said. “Arkansans are not yet sold on her, with less than half of them committing to a Hillary candidacy against two very different Republicans, Sen. Rand Paul and Gov. Chris Christie.”

What odd framing. Going from Obama's 24 point loss to a 2-3 point lead sounds like a pretty damn big deal to me, yet they make it seem like it's a bad thing for Hillary.

Obama was so much the wrong candidate for Arkansas, where Clinton checks a lot of the right boxes of Arkansas.
