Democrats still face off for more than two weeks in the Arkansas Senate race. But whoever wins faces a real challenge in November from Rep. John Boozman (R), a new Rasmussen poll (500 LVs, 5/19, MoE +/- 4.5%) finds.

General Election Matchups
Boozman 66 (+9 vs. last poll, 4/26)
Lincoln 28 (-1)
Und 4 (-1)

Boozman 60 (+4)
Halter 33 (+2)
Und 7 (-4)

Lincoln has just a 28 percent favorable rating in the poll, taken one day after the primary. Given the proximity of the survey to the election, the numbers may be artificially high for Boozman. But to be polling more than double an incumbent is certainly a red flag regardless.

Rasmussen does not poll the June 8 runoff between Halter and Lincoln. A recent survey from Research 2000 showed the lieutenant governor ahead, 48-46, in the first post-primary poll.

President Obama also sees diminishing numbers. Just 32 percent of Arkansans approve of his job performance while 67 percent disapprove. Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe seems immune to his fellow Democrats' struggles. He posts a 72 percent job approval rating, while 28 percent disapprove.
