That is an interesting poll. I find it disheartening that so many responders more responders approved of the Democratic policy on the minimum wage, but Pryor and Cotton are still tied. As are Ross and Hutchinson for Gov. It means, I think, that the Democrats have not done enough educating of Arkansas voters. This is a key populist issue, and one that should resonant in a time of economic distress for many people.
