Dem poll: Pryor up in Arkansas

Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) has a small lead over Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), according to a new poll conducted for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Pryor leads Cotton by 46 percent to 43 percent in the poll, conducted for the DSCC's independent expenditure arm by Hickman Analytics. It falls within the poll's 3.5-percent margin of error.

This is the second time in a few weeks that a Hickman poll has shown Pryor with a small lead — they had him up by two points in a late August poll.

Publicly released internal polls should always be viewed with a bit of skepticism. The few recent nonpartisan public polls of the race have found Cotton with a small lead, and Republicans have been more bullish about the race than Democrats in recent weeks.

1. Polls

When will people stop believing these things? Just show up and vote!

2. I certainly hope this holds. Cotton has now started running ads explaining

why he voted against the farm bill. It was because of the included increase in food stamp money and he ends the ad with ' spent too much already'. Whistle for the TEA partiers.

6. Disgusting ad by Cotton.

I fully support food supplements.

I oppose all farm subsidies.

With that said, I fully support Pryor.
