Snyder voted for [[President Obama]]'s $787 billion [[economic stimulus package]], claiming it would "create millions of jobs." <ref>Rep. Vic Snyder, "Snyder Statement On American Recovery And Reinvestment Act Conference Report," Press Release, 2/13/09</ref>

On January 15, 2010 Snyder announced he will not seek reelection in 2010, just after a poll from SurveyUSA showed him trailing his Republican opponent by 17-points. <ref>http://elections.firedoglake.com/2010/01/14/exclusive-arkansas-democrat-vic-snyder-trailing-tim-griffin/</ref>
