A new survey in Arkansas by Public Policy Polling (D) finds Democratic Rep. Vic Snyder in a dead heat with Republican challenger Tim Griffin — a “star” of the U.S. Attorney scandal in 2007.
The numbers: Snyder 44%, Griffin 43%, within the ±4.9% margin of error. Against the other GOP candidates, Snyder leads Army veteran and Republican activist David Meeks by 45%-42%, and is ahead of restaurateur Scott Wallace by 44%-42%.
The Republican candidates are essentially unknowns, but Snyder’s job approval is only 42%, with a 46% plurality disapproval. In addition, President Obama’s approval rating in the district is only 41%-52%.
