Rasmussen polling for Arkansas 2010 US Senate Race: Boozman (R) 61%, Lincoln (D) 32%

Rasmussen Reports (7/17/2010) shows Republican John Boozman at 61% now holds a near two-to-one lead over Democratic incumbent Blanche Lincoln at 32% in Arkansas’ U.S. Senate race while just 3% remain undecided.

Voters in Arkansas have consistently opposed the health care bill more strongly than voters in much of the rest of the country: 65% of voters in the state now favor repeal of the health care bill, while 30% oppose repeal. This includes 57% who Strongly Favor repeal and 20% who are Strongly Opposed.

Both candidates are well-known in the state, but at this point in a campaign, Rasmussen Reports considers the number of people with a strong opinion more significant than the total favorable/unfavorable numbers.

Sixty-five percent (65%) of Arkansas voters favor offshore oil drilling, well above findings nationally. But 73% agree that the ongoing Gulf oil leak will have a devastating or major long-term impact on the environment.

Seventy-seven percent (77%) say the companies involving in drilling on the leak site should pay for the cleanup, but 20% more think the government should help with cleanup costs, too.

Thirty-two percent (32%) rate President Obama’s handling of the war in Afghanistan as good or excellent. Thirty-two percent (32%) also say he’s doing a poor job.

Thirty-eight percent (38%) of voters in the state now approve of the job Obama is doing as president, while 61% disapprove.
