i think a large part of that is tom tillis, speaker of the state house. he is the person republicans wanted as their nominee. but he has to own a conservative and controversial state legislature. this is where some state issues in terms of how people view the state legislature, the governor, the republican branch, i think they play more of a role here than in other states because of tillis and the controversial things in the state legislature. >> chris is writing about election day. it is safe to assume that the president will not be traveling to arkansas, kentucky, north carolina, alaska, or other key states. how unpopular is he for democrats seeking reelection? >> deeply. people focus on the national poll numbers. his numbers are typically in the low 40's. but in the places where democrats need to win, he is well below 40. a kentucky poll that had mitch mcconnell up a few points had obama at 31%. a poll in arkansas had obama's approval at 31%. in north carolina a poll had north carolina at 38% his numbers nationally are actually better than they are in
