Senate Races In Arkansas And Michigan


Republicans thought they would have a pretty easy time taking the senate seat away from the Democrats in Arkansas. After all, Arkansas is a pretty red state. But the latest Rasmussen Poll (taken on August 25th and 26th of 750 likely Arkansas voters, with a margin of error of 4 points) shows this race has turned into a real dogfight. The race is currently a dead heat -- with 44% supporting Pryor (D) and 43% supporting Cotton (R). The Republicans could still win this seat, but I'm starting to think Pryor may actually hold on to it for the Democrats.

Meanwhile, a different poll shows the Democrats in good shape to win the open senate seat in Michigan. It is the EPIC-MRA Poll (taken between August 22nd and 25th of 600 likely Michigan voters, with a 4 point margin of error). That survey shows Democrat Gary Peters leading Republican Terri Lynn Land by a six point margin.
