44% Asa Hutchinson (R)
43% Mike Ross (D)

The PPP poll, a robo-call survey of 1,004 Arkansans from Dec 13 to Dec. 15, was mainly done, apparently, to test basic leanings on raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10 an hour. It found superficial support for that by a margin of 52-38.

Not bad. Also lol at whatever right-wing rag this is downplaying 52-38 support of a minimum wage increase as "superficial."

Probably in context with nationwide support, which is 70% in the last Quinnipiac poll.

Independent polling needed. PPP has said they're only polling for clients in AR.

Could it be that GOP support in the Mountain South has peaked?

These aren't great numbers for Hutchinson. Wasn't he leading by nearly ten just a couple months ago?

No. Hutchinson will probably win by a few points. R+14 aside, Ross has backflipped on guns and abortion.

How can you be so sure? The direction of Arkansas is to the right, for sure, but Hutchinson has proven he can lose a very winnable campaign before, and he can do it again.

Hutchinson is a pretty weak candidate. I could see Ross winning even if Pryor loses.

Nah.  Beebe won in a landslide even when Blanche went down in flames.  Federal elections =/= state elections in Appalachia/Ozarks.  I'd say its support for the GOP at the federal level is super high right now and likely continuing to rise(see 2009 VA race); Dems are still holding on in statewide races thanks to well-known politicians.  But it just can't last forever.
