The Tolbert Report has obtained a poll from the GOP-leaning American Crossroads group showing the U.S. Senate race in Arkansas currently tied.
The live poll was conducted by Harper Polling on April 9 and 10 and surveyed 522 likely voters with a margin of error of +/-4.29%.
More on the poll here but here is the main part…
Tom Cotton 39%
Mark Pryor 39%
Undecided 22%
Last week, Talk Business and Hendrix College released a polling showing Pryor with a slight lead of 45.5% to Cotton’s 42.5%, which is within the margin of error of +/-3%. The Harper Poll is consistent with the Talk Business poll, but shows a much more wide open race with both candidate below 40 percent. Democratic-leaning pollsters have also put out polls recently showing Pryor with a slight lead.
The main takeaway from all these polls is that despite both sides already spending millions of dollars, the race is still wide open.
