Talk Business, a multi-format Arkansas newsmagazine, is conducting a whole bunch of polling on the state’s congressional primaries. They are using an outfit I’m not familiar with, with the memorable name of “The Political Firm.” They look to be a Republican pollster, but I don’t know if they have any skin in the game (or if Talk Business has any axe to grind).
In any event, Talk Business says all the polls were taken April 6-7th, were of registered voters (sort of an unusual choice, given that the primary is on May 18th), and are unweighted. TPF says it uses IVR (aka robopolls). Talk Business also promises two more rounds of polling before the primary.

makes me worry – i don’t see her winning a General (Black and “too liberal” to boot). It seems to me Democrats would be better with more moderate candidate
I think we have to hope Wills wins to have a shot.
Are we not running anyone in AR-03?
Okay, Griffin is Karl Rove’s pet US Attorney and was supposed to be a big badass of a candidate, right?
So who’s Scott Wallace and why are they tied? Wallace’s website is okay, and Mike Huckabee endorsed him, which has gotta be a good “get” for Wallace, esp. in a primary, esp. in Arkansas. Can he win the primary? The general?
Wooldridge? Ugh. I hope someone else is able to attract that mass of undecideds.
not that familiar with these races. Who are the best candidates for both team blue and red?
