Heading into the November 2nd general election, Cong. John Boozman (R) and Gov. Mike Beebe (D) enjoy double-digit leads. But the two high-profile, top-of-the-ticket races are heading in different directions.
In the U.S. Senate race, Boozman’s margin over incumbent Democrat Sen. Blanche Lincoln has shrunk to 13 points as he now holds a 49-36% lead. Independent Trevor Drown and Green Party candidate John Gray each received 4% support, while 7% of voters remain undecided.
Beebe has seen a steady increase in his advantage – now 16 points – over Republican gubernatorial challenger Jim Keet, 50-34%. Green Party nominee Jim Lendall pulled 3.5% support and 12.5% remain undecided.
