Arkansas Senate: Boozman (R) Still Trumps Lincoln (D)

Republican challenger John Boozman continues to lead incumbent Democrat Blanche Lincoln by nearly 20 points in Arkansas’ U.S. Senate race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Arkansas shows Boozman earning 55% support, while Lincoln, arguably the nation’s most endangered Democratic senator, picks up 37% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The race remains Solid GOP in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings. 

However, this is the first time that Boozman, a U.S. congressman who has led the race in surveys since February, has dropped out of the 60s since the spring. In August, he led Lincoln 65% to 27%, her lowest level of support to date.

In surveys since he won the Republican Primary in May, Boozman has earned 60% to 66% of the vote in matchups with Lincoln, who in turn has picked up 28% to 35% support.
