Sen. Lincoln drops below 30 percent in new poll

By Shane D'Aprile - 08/20/10 01:25 PM ET

The latest Rasmussen poll on the Arkansas Senate race shows Sen. Blanche Lincoln's (D) numbers dropping to their lowest point yet in her reelection bid against Rep. John Boozman (R). 

Boozman leads 65 percent to 27 percent, according to the latest numbers. Four percent prefer another candidate and just 3 percent say they're undecided. A Rasmussen poll from last month had Boozman leading 60-35.  

It's obviously a long way to November, but right now Arkansas continues to look like the easiest Senate pick-up on the calendar for Republicans this fall.

Boozman has maintained a large lead over Lincoln since the senator narrowly survived a primary challenge from state Lt. Gov. Bill Halter (D), and Democrats in Arkansas have still not entirely coalesced around her reelection bid.

The poll found just 69 percent of Democrats backing Lincoln, while 89 percent of Republicans are supporting Boozman.
