Sen. Lincoln has become unelectable in November in Arkansas, where she is viewed as unfavorable by 58% of the electorate.
This is big news! We are the underdogs in this race, running against a sitting United States Senator in a runoff. And we are going to win on June 8th.
This poll also shows Lt. Governor Halter is by far the strongest Democratic candidate against Republican John Boozman in November. She is losing by 20 points, 58%-38%. If Lt. Gov. Halter were to match up against Boozman, however, Democrats would have a real chance. Halter does almost twice as well as Lincoln against Boozman, behind 53%-42%, and leads among women, 48%-47%.
Arkansas is ready to send someone who will bring change to Washington. Despite all the attacks and the mudslinging by our opponent and her corporate backers, our campaign has the momentum.
