The region has suffered for decades from extreme poverty, population migration, and an eroding economic base. Federal programs tend to be inflexible, and local communities are often unable to meet the requirements these programs entail. We are looking at deeply rooted problems that require high-level answers.

  • GOP Ticket Leads in Arkansas
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 22, 2014 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE GOP ticket leads in Arkansas Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's newest Arkansas poll finds Republicans leading across the board in the state's key races for this year, led by Tom Cotton with a 43/38 advantage over Mark Pryor and Asa Hutchinson with a 44/38 lead over Mike Ross at the top of the ticket. Cotton's lead is up slightly from 41/39 on our previous poll. Voters aren't in love with him- 40% see him favorably to 41% with an unfavorable opinion. But Pryor continues to have tough approval ratings, with 36% giving him good marks to 51% who disapprove. Both candidates are receiving 77% of the vote from within their own party but Cotton has a substantial advantage with independents, getting 53% of their vote to 20% for Pryor. The Governor's race is pretty steady with Hutchinson's 44/38 lead little changed from 43/38 in early August. Hutchinson has positive favorability numbers (43/35) while voters are pretty closely divided in their feelings about Ross (35/36). The strong GOP advantage with independent voters carries over to this race too- 48% support Hutchinson to 23% for Ross. Barack Obama has a 31/62 approval rating in Arkansas, including 13/80 with independents, and that's probably making things hard for the Democratic ticket in the state. The news isn't all bad for progressives in Arkansas.

  • Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson
    April 7, 2020 The Honorable Asa Hutchinson Governor of the State of Arkansas State Capitol Room 250 500 Woodlane Ave. Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Governor Hutchinson: As our nation faces the massive challenGe of respondinG to a Global pandemic, you have demonstrated leadership by issuing several executive orders that have been designed to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Arkansas. Your April 4 executive order reaffirmed the state’s restriction on mass GatherinGs of more than ten people,1 which is in line with the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.2 Unfortunately, Saturday’s order continues to exempt houses of worship from this ban and merely “advise[s]” that places of worship adhere to social distancinG protocols.3 The failure to include houses of worship in the mass gatherinG ban is particularly surprising considering that you have recognized that allowing houses of worship to continue to hold mass GatherinGs “endanGers not just the people at the church but the community as well”4 and that Arkansas houses of worship, such as the Jonesboro Awaken Church, have said they would comply with an order to stop GatherinG.5 This existinG reliGious exemption allows reliGious GatherinGs to continue under circumstances deemed too dangerous for secular gatherings, putting the public health at risk. We write to explain why this exemption is not only detrimental to public health but also unconstitutional and to urGe you to revoke it immediately. Mass Gathering Bans Are Critical to Saving Lives AccordinG to the CDC, “larGe events and mass GatherinGs can contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States via travelers who attend these events and introduce the virus to new communities.”6 Attendance at these GatherinGs is danGerous not just for the individuals who attend, but for all of us.
