U.S. Representative John Boozman (R-AR) will start with a huge lead over Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) if he decides to run for the Senate in 2010, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey.
Mr. Boozman is expected to make his announcement later this week. State Republicans have told reporters that he will run.
John Boozman will enter the Arkansas Senate race this weekend as the frontrunner. He leads incumbent Blanche Lincoln by an amazing 56-33 margin in our first poll of the race.
Lincoln’s approval rating has sunk to just 27%, with 62% of voters in the state disapproving of her. She’s at a middling 51% even within her own party and just 17% of independents and 9% of Republicans are happy with how she’s doing.
