Trump Statistically Tied With Biden in Arkansas, Struggling With Independent Voters: Poll By Christina Zhao On 6/14/20 at 5:27 PM EDT A new poll shows President Donald Trump's lead over presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in Arkansas and his approval rating diminishing as he struggles with reaching independent voters. In the latest Talk Business & Politics-Hendrix College poll, released Sunday, Trump statistically tied with Biden in Arkansas. The president slightly led the former vice president with support among 47 percent of likely voters. Biden garnered 45 percent of support from likely voters. The two percent difference falls under the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. Trump's overall job approval rating in the southern state took a dive compared to the same poll conducted in November 2019, with 50 percent disapproving, 46 percent approving and 4 percent unsure. Trump drew a 50-45 percent approval rating around seven months ago. Most Democrats and Republicans voted along party lines, however, a majority of self-described independents—54 percent—disapproved of Trump's job performance while only 39 percent approved. Independent voters in the state leaned towards Biden, with 46 percent of support for the former vice president compared to the current president's 40 percent. Republican Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton also garnered overall disapproval statewide, with 44 percent approving of his job performance, 47 percent disapproving and 9 percent unsure. The poll was conducted between June 9-10 and surveyed 869 likely Arkansas voters. Newsweek reached out to the Trump 2020 campaign for comment. This story will be updated with any response.
