A new poll conducted by the University of Arkansas shows that Sen. Blanche Lincoln's approval rating is at its lowest level since she took office in 1999.

Figures released Thursday show that just 43 percent of Arkansans polled approve of the job Lincoln is doing as senator. She enjoyed a 54 percent approval rating last fall.

Gov. Mike Beebe had a 70 percent approval rating and Sen. Mark Pryor's was 51 percent, his lowest since entering the Senate in 2003.

The university interviewed 754 Arkansans between Oct. 14 and Oct. 28. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. On average, poll respondents had a higher education level than the state as a whole. The percentage of black respondents was below the state percentage.
