AR-Sen: Lincoln Still Leads Halter, But Runoff Possible

by: James L.

Research 2000 for Daily Kos (5/10-12, likely voters, 4/26-28 in parens):

Blanche Lincoln (D-inc): 46 (43)
Bill Halter (D): 37 (35)
D.C. Morrison: 6 (7)
Undecided: 11 (15)
(MoE: ±5%)

At this point, it doesn't look likely that Halter will be able to come out on top next Tuesday, but will Paulist weirdo D.C. Morrison eat up enough of the vote to force this one to a runoff? It could happen.

And for the first time, R2K has taken a look at the Republican primary:

John Boozman (R): 46
Jim Holt! (R): 19
Gilbert Baker (R): 12
Kim Hendren (R): 6
Curtis Coleman (R): 2
Other: 2
Undecided: 13
(MoE: ±5%)

Again, the big thing to watch next Tuesday is whether or not one or both of these races go to a runoff. For our sake, let's hope they both do.

General election match-ups:

Blanche Lincoln (D-inc): 40 (42)
John Boozman (R): 54 (52)
Undecided: 6 (6)

Blanche Lincoln (D-inc): 39 (40)
Gilbert Baker (R): 45 (47)
Undecided: 16 (13)

Blanche Lincoln (D-inc): 40 (40)
Kim Hendren (R): 46 (50)
Undecided: 14 (10)

Blanche Lincoln (D-inc): 41
Jim Holt! (R): 44
Undecided: 15

Bill Halter (D): 41 (42)
John Boozman (R): 50 (47)
Undecided: 9 (11)

Bill Halter (D): 42 (43)
Gilbert Baker (R): 42 (44)
Undecided: 16 (13)

Bill Halter (D): 42 (43)
Kim Hendren (R): 42 (45)
Undecided: 16 (12)

Bill Halter (D): 42
Jim Holt! (R): 43
Undecided: 15
(MoE: ±4%)

While Halter will have an incredible challenge ahead of him if he can pull out a win in this primary, Lincoln and her 39-55 favorable rating look like burnt toast.

If the GOP primary
goes to a runoff, Jim Holt! might be able to consolidate the anti-incumbent anti-TARP Republican electorate. If Boozman loses, he's gotta be thinking "I made a terrible mistake" in reference to his vote for TARP.

I think this issue will be a lot more toxic for Republicans than people are talking about. It cost Bennett his job, and may very well allow Gob's son to win the primary.

I wish these comments had a rating system, because I would give you five stars.

Hahah thanks
I meant "a huge mistake" but I got the point across I think :)

If Halter runs 11 points behind Lincoln
I have to consider him a very heavy underdog going into the runoff. I have to wonder whether he'd have any chance to speak of. And that's sad, because I agree with your analysis of the general election prospects. And also because I happen to greatly dislike Lincoln's pro-corporate policies and loud posturing against the president and the Democratic Leadership in the Senate.
