Poll: Tom Cotton up 7 on Mark Pryor in Arkansas
posted at 9:51 pm on December 9, 2013 by Mary Katharine Ham

Kellyanne Conway’s group did the polling. It’s not one of the news group polls, which use a Democratic and Republican pollster together. Can’t make Pryor feel good:

   
Quote
Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor trails his Republican challenger, Rep. Tom Cotton, by seven points among likely voters in Arkansas, 48 percent to 41 percent, according to a new poll from a conservative group that says his support of the health care reform law is costing him.

    The survey, shared exclusively with POLITICO, was conducted Friday and Saturday for the Citizens United Political Victory Fund by Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway of the polling company, Inc./WomanTrend.

Now, let’s check out the individual questions:

Cotton is ahead among independents by 21 points and among women by 4 points.

As Politico points out, the last polling on this race showed it virtually tied back when the government was shut down and Obamcare had not yet revealed itself to be, well, Obamcare:

   
Quote
In this latest survey, 62 percent of those polled have an unfavorable view of the health care law — 56 percent strongly so.

    “Mark Pryor is synonymous with Obamacare and Obamacare is synonymous with making life worse for the American people,” said David N. Bossie, president of Citizens United. “That’s why Pryor is losing to Cotton in the Arkansas Senate race.”
�The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves.� G Washington July 2, 1776

This seat is key to gaining control of the Senate. I hope they tie Obamacare around Pryor's neck until he chokes.

Cotton is an awesome name for a candidate - "pick cotton". It's also an easy to remember name.
