Despite more than $9 million in spending by Democratic outside groups against him, Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is currently leading his Democratic opponent, incumbent Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., by five points, according to new data from Public Policy Polling, a Democratic polling firm.
From the PPP report:
The numbers are from a PPP survey conducted Sept. 18 to 21. The survey polled 1,453 U.S. adults aged 18 and older and contains a sampling margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 points.
“Arkansas is leaning toward supporting the GOP ticket right now,” President of Public Policy Polling Dean Debnam said in a statement. “The silver lining for Democrats is that they’re only down by five or six points in the key races, leaving some room for a comeback. It’s not like 2010 when Blanche Lincoln was down by 20 at this point.”
