A new poll finds that Republican Tom Cotton has extended his lead over Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor in the closely-watched Arkansas Senate race.
Cotton leads by 7 points among likely voters — 46 percent to Pryor’s 39 percent — according to a Fox News poll conducted Oct. 4-7 by the Democratic firm Anderson Robbins Research and the Republican firm Shaw & Company Research. (Ten percent said they didn’t know.)
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Previous surveys showed Cotton, a freshman congressman, with a narrow lead over Pryor, but the latest Fox poll may be an indication that the Democrat has a steeper hill to climb in order to hold his seat on Nov. 4.
The Fox poll was part of a series of surveys in Senate races, all of which showed good news for Republican candidates. It puts Cotton up by 5.7 percentage points in the TPM PollTracker Average.
And Fox News had Mitt Romney winning handily in 2012. Pryor still behind, but throw out any poll by Fox.
If that’s accurate,AR is gonna be a tough loss to swallow.
…IchabodCotton.

Fox News poll-dancing.
So then, the big political action from Congress in 2015 will be an expensive and useless impeachment trial against the President.
And still, most people don’t vote.
