Blanche Lincoln slips even more in polls...she needs to pull a "Dodd"

And get out now for the benefit of the party...don't know much about her, but from what I do know, I bet that's unlikely.

Rasmussen has new numbers in the Arkansas Senate race (500 LVs, 3/30, MoE +/- 4.5%), and the news isn't good for Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D). She's launched several ads in the past month, but also been taking some heat on the airwaves from her new primary rival, Lt. Gov. Bill Halter (D). The outcome: she slips further behind her potential GOP foes, and her unfavorable rating has climbed 9 points.

The gap is narrower when Halter is the Democratic nominee, but largely because of a bigger pool of undecideds.

Some other points from the survey: 28 percent of Arkansans say the health care plan passed by Congress will be good for the country, 60 percent say bad. Sixty-three percent favor an effort to repeal the bill. President Obama's job approval stands at 37 percent, while 61 percent disapprove of his performance. Gov. Mike Beebe (D), however, has a robust 74 percent approval rating, with just a quarter of the sample disapproving.
