Arkansas Senate election polling

Overview

Polling for the Arkansas Senate race between Republican incumbent Tom Cotton and Democratic challenger Hallie Shoffner has shown significant discrepancies.

In mid-August, a survey by J. L. Partners indicated Cotton held a 16-point lead with 51% support to Shoffner’s 35%. This contrasted with a survey conducted by Talk Business & Politics-Hendrix College between August 11-12, which found Shoffner leading with 47.4% to Cotton’s 44%, though this result fell within the poll’s 4.7% margin of error.

These conflicting figures follow a year of varying estimates, ranging from a 22-point lead for Cotton in February to a much narrower margin in July.
