It suggests tightening in both races, but continued small leads for Republican Senate candidate Tom Cotton over Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor and Republican gubernatorial candidate Asa Hutchinson over Democrat Mike Ross.

Please note CORRECTION FROM MY ORIGINAL POST. The governor’s race is 47-44, not 47-43, a gap also within the margin of error of 3.9 percent.

Also: More numbers here from a New York Times sampling that relies on continuing sample of a panel of respondents. Slightly wider edge for Cotton.
