On the heels PPP's dismal poll results for Blanche Lincoln this morning, Rasmussen offers up more evidence that the Democratic Senator from Arkansas is toast.

Lincoln can muster no better 36% against any of five possible Republican challengers, all of whom poll at 50+%:

Boozman (R) 54
Lincoln (D) 35

Baker (R) 52
Lincoln (D) 33

Hendren (R) 51
Lincoln (D) 35

Coleman (R) 50
Lincoln (D) 34

Cox (R) 50
Lincoln (D) 36

RCP's Sean Trende chimes in:

"Absent a massive shift in public opinion, this seat should join North Dakota and Delaware in the likely-to-safe Republican category.  It's tough to make a call like this with a well-funded incumbent in the seat (who also happens to chair the Senate Ag Committee), but I'm not sure I've ever seen an incumbent Senator with numbers like this who isn't facing some sort of major scandal.

The truly shocking thing from the PPP numbers is that even Governor Mike Beebe -- a very popular politician -- fares poorly against some tepid GOP opposition.  This tells me that the atmosphere in Arkansas is simply too toxic for Democrats to have much of a chance at holding this seat in November, absent some massive turnaround in public opinion."
