RCP Average

7/16 - 9/16

--

56.5

31.3

Boozman +25.2 ****************************snip*************** Thus, Lincoln found herself faced with a strong primary challenge from the left as well as a strong general election challenge from the right. She narrowly survived the primary from Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter but is a much longer shot against Congressman John Boozman (the younger brother of the Republican Lincoln defeated in 1998). Only six incumbent senators have seen their re-elects drop below 40 percent of the two-party vote since we began directly electing senators. Given the polling we’ve seen recently, Lincoln stands a good chance of becoming number seven.

Tried to copy the one line from the lovely chart and somehow messed that up.

Anyway they say....Boozman (R) +25.2

I’ll bet Obama’s Gallup poll has Lincoln up by about 50.

I am not aware of just how RCP arrives at their number...someone that follows this much closer ...will be along to offer a reason for the large difference...

Maybe this does it....From their latest polls :

********************EXCERPT****************************

Talk Business Poll

Boozman 56, Lincoln 29

Boozman +27 Complex Link . For Emphasis...: TB POLL: BOOZMAN UP BIG; MAJOR MESSAGES NOT MOVING SENATE RACE Sunday, September 19th, 2010 **************************************EXCERPT***************************** The latest Talk Business/Hendrix College Poll shows that voters are largely unswayed by several prominent issues churning in the U.S. Senate race between Sen. Blanche Lincoln and Cong. John Boozman. In a survey of 573 likely Arkansas voters conducted on Thursday, Sept. 16, Boozman led Lincoln 56-29%.  Independent Trevor Drown registered with 5% of the vote, while Green Party nominee John Gray pulled 2%.  Undecided voters accounted for 8% in the survey, which had a margin of error of +/- 4%. The poll also tested four different high-profile messages being utilized by the Lincoln and Boozman campaigns in the race.  The four issues are earmarks, health care, the national sales tax, and Lincoln’s chairmanship of the Senate Agriculture Committee. You can access the poll and its results at this link.  Click here to access our Talk Business Poll conducted by a different firm in July. “With little exception, this race is basically static from our July Talk Business Poll and the messages being deployed by both campaigns are not changing voter opinions,” said Talk Business Executive Editor Roby Brock. Dr. Jay Barth, with the Hendrix College Department of Politics and International Relations, helped craft and analyze the latest poll. He offered the following analysis:
