Is this a legitimate news source in AR? What about this polling company? Neither candidates are airing ads nor visiting the state. Is this due to Clinton's health?

Previous polls:

It is probably an aberration or a fraudulently weighted poll. Wait to see what the next polls show.

I don't believe it for a minute. A few, mind you, FEW, Kerry-Edwards signs have appeared in Southwest Arkansas, but this is among a SEA of Bush-Cheney signs.

Kerry will win the Delta. Bush will take everything else.

Bush will win Arkansas.

Let’s see:

In 2000 Arkansas voted against Al Gore the southerner and the eight years VP for their native son President.

This laughable poll is telling us that Arkansas is equally split between President Bush and a left wing ultra liberal elite from Massachusetts.

Brummet is a hack and a yellow dog democrat. He is about a degree left of Gene Lyons, and he is only trying to encourage the true believers.

Let's see this is what, the third time this has been posted?


We sent Opinion Research back into the field Monday through Wednesday evenings, making 500 calls to likely voters evenly split among the four congressional districts. This is the new report: The presidential race is tied in Arkansas, 48-48.

No partisan break down and the head of the polling group talks about "Kerry's strong showing in the debates" a word for word quote from the DNC Talking point memo. Nope this is another DNC direct hit poll trying to rally the Dim faithful. Not serious. Paying any attention to this would be the same as paying attention to a Democrat authorized poll.

I heard on ABC today that Clinton is wanting to goto ARK to campaign for Kerry since it is now so "close".

Given that this is the third posting and Cableguy just posted another pro-Kerry poll, methinks we might have a troll on the loose.

They are dreaming. I will be happy if Kerry spends time and money there in the next week. He can't win Arkansas.

I wouldn't even "drop knives" with someone who "columnized" for a living.

OK... Look into this outfit a little more closely.

This is not Mason-Dixon, but a poll commissioned by a left-wing paper for their purposes.

The author is John Brummett, a left-wing columnist.
His paper is a left-wing counterpoint to the conservative Arkansas Gazette.

Here is some of his work:

Hark, a left-wing blog: Left-wing blogs may be our only hope. Now we have one right here in Arkansas, thanks to those old Arkansas Gazette refugees at the Arkansas Times.

yes, Arkansas Times is their "Content Partner", one of several left-wing institutions under the umbrella of Arkansas News Bureau, A Stephens Media Company.
