John Brummett has a new column on an Arkansas opinion poll put out by Talk Business Quarterly, a new publication. Here are some of his analysis of the data:
Blanche Lincoln faces an uphill battle for re-election because the people of Arkansas don't want a government health option. Despite the fact that they have Medicare, etc, they are not totally sold on government health insurance, is my guess. Brummett says that Lincoln's current negative rating is 46 percent compared to a 42 percent positive rating. Her new chairmanship of the Senate Agriculture Committee has actually hurt, rather than helped her. Besides Republican opposition, she may face a Democratic challenger, lieutenant governor Bill Halter.
