Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR) gained a lead over incumbent Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) with likely voters in the Arkansas senate race in a new NBC/Marist poll released Sunday.
Among likely voters, 45 percent said they would support Cotton and 40 percent said they would support Pryor. But with registered voters, the candidates were tied 41-41 for voters’ support.
In NBC/Marrist’s May poll, Pryor had an 11-point lead among registered voters, which may show that Pryor is slipping overall.
Before the latest NBC poll, TPM PollTracker’s average had Pryor leading Cotton by one point.
NBC/Marist surveyed 691 likely voters with a margin of error plus or minus 3.9 percentage points and 1,068 registered voters with a margin of error plus or minus 3 percentage points. The poll was conducted via phone Sept. 2-4.
Not to be obstreperous but all these polls show is that nobody really knows what the hell is going to happen in Hillbillyland.
These next two months are CRITICAL. Pryor needs to come and SUPPORT increasing Social Security as Begich and other Democratic Senators have come and supported.
Even if they were neck-and-neck, Cotton would still be ahead.
these are low info voters your trying to convince and most are Racist wasting your time. personally i hope they do repeal Obamacare want to see how these voters would react then.
NBC/Marist Poll comes out on a Sunday?? Are these diabolically synchronized to match MTP/Todd’s debut interview with Barack Obama? These timing and push by corporate media is highly suspect…let the ‘Repubs’ take it all!! and we’ll see what awful fate lies ahead
