In yet another case of the weakening position of incumbents, A new DailyKos/Research 2000 survey in Arkansas finds challenger Bill Halter ahead of incumbent Sen. Blanche Lincoln in the Democratic primary runoff election, 49% to 45%, with another 6% still undecided. These results also show that liberal party activists are fired up in the state, given Halter's run to the left of Lincoln.
