Arkansas Senate: Pryor (D) 44%, Cotton (R) 43%

Rasmussen Reports ^ | August 27, 2014

Support for Republican challenger Tom Cotton has slipped a bit, turning the Arkansas Senate race into a dead heat.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Arkansas Voters finds Democratic Senator Mark Pryor with 44% of the vote to Cotton’s 43%. Six percent (6%) like another candidate in the race, and another six percent (6%) are undecided.

I can’t remember the last time the GOP candidate won a close race.
Perhaps Toomey in 2010?
The dem fraud and vote buying machine has been damn near perfected.
That’s why the can get seats in states like Montana, Louisiana, Alaska, North Carolina, and of course Arkansas.
That said, if a late wave breaks our way against the sitting president’s party then we could get these seats.
But we could easily see very last rat survive even if the GOP picks up seats in the House.
The senate is extremely frustrating.

John Cornyn spent two cycles sabotaging the GOP. In the Senate . They will probably never recover from that.

[all the best]

Republicans will be crushed in November. They have pushed the Dem agenda for decades and people would rather have the real thing.

[Clump]

That’s true.
The GOP is just damned inept.
We need a majority just in case a vacancy opens on SCOTUS.

[Clump]

You might be right.
The trouble with the GOP taking the senate and keeping the House is that they will be blamed for everything under the sun going into 2016.
Also, it will continue to give some people the impression that anything can be done about America’s decline (I hope there is, but I doubt it- my hope is in The Lord).
The globalists have taken over, GOP and dems both.
Two wings on the same bird.

We lived in NC when Reagan ran and the key to him winning the state was the early and determined voter registration in any venue that could be used. Without their registration a person cannot legally vote and by the time many get interested in a candidate the deadline for doing so has been passed,

Our particular effort was to go to a church each Sunday, with the permission of the pastor of course. Malls, fairs, parking lots everywhere. Many more registered Republican than democrat because social issues were a large concern even then.

And of course, money to finance the TV and media ads is an ongoing necessity. Winning Arkansas might depend on which party wants it the most. The national Republican party has an opportunity to make a real difference in this race. Patriots with the wherewithal to help a very pro American candidate for Senate can also have a voice by contributing to the senate campaign of Iraq veteran Tom Cotton,

“Republicans will be crushed in November.”

RCP has Republicans picking up 7 seats and that doesn’t include Alaska where Sullivan (R) is now leading Begich (D)

You think the GOP will lose all of those and then some? “Crushed”, really?

[nhwingut]

That’s why the can get seats in states like Montana, Louisiana, Alaska, North Carolina, and of course Arkansas.

Agreed. Although Montana is a lock. As are West Virginia and South Dakota.

The other four you mentioned, which should be easy for Repubs (LA, AK, MC, AR, are deadlocked.

On the plus side, Joni Ernst in Iowa and Cory Gardner in Colorado are also tied in races that were supposed to be easy for Dems.

And Scott Brown in NH and Terri Lynn Land in MI are in close races that while lean Dem are still competitive (4-6 points), and will force Dems to spend big money.

I’m 100% convinced of voter fraud in Arkansas without the results of this vote. I have had the practice of harvesting votes from nursing homes described to me by a participant.

[nickcarraway]

We need a majority just in case a vacancy opens on SCOTUS.

Lol. And what is that going to prove? Orrin Hatch brokered a deal back in the 90's that the GOP would support any Democrat nominee for the Supreme Court. If Obama nominated Medea Benjamin, the GOP would not get in her way. The only difference if a GOP Senate is elected, is they will pass amnesty first of all.

“Republicans will be crushed in November.”

Well maybe not crushed, but disappointed with the election results. 1.) the GOPe is ignoring their base. 2.) The Rats have the money and the GOTV machine. 3.) The polls to me seem to indicate the electorate is anti-Congress--not pro Republican. I pray to heaven that it will not be thus, but one could make a case for the Rats holding the Senate and taking the House. The bottom line is that the GOP has offered no reason to vote Republican. Then if you add in fraud, etc., the Rats will ride out the wave.

[Clump]

Well you are probably right.
This way I won’t sweat the elections.
Lets just just the delusion of self government out of the way already and start over. Seriously.

[Pining_4_TX]

Tell them to spend a day going to the various government offices, and they will see why Pryor might win. They just don’t hang out in the right places.

[Theodore R.]

My understanding is that Cotton is trying to sit on a nonexistent lead.

[Theodore R.]

I read too that Cotton often goes out of his way to hail the Clintoons.

[dpetty121263]

I am in Arkansas (4th Congressional dist)and people are sick of Pryor so I do not buy this poll, Arkansas is a total Red state these days and I expect Cotton to win,Pryor has gotten desperate and his ads prove it.
