The Louisville Courier-Journal poll, a robo-poll conducted by SurveyUSA, gave McConnell 42 percent to Grimes’ 46 percent.
The poll also found that only 27 percent of registered voters view the Republican incumbent favorably. Fifty percent view him unfavorably.
McConnell leads his Republican primary challenger, Matt Bevin, by 26 points, 55 percent to 29 percent, in the poll. The Courier-Journal attributed some of McConnell’s weakness to conservative frustration, noting that these voters would come home after a primary victory.

"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell trails his Democratic opponent, Alison Lundergan Grimes, by 4 points in a new poll published Thursday night by Kentucky’s largest newspaper, reports Politico."
ReplyDeleteSo if McConnell wins the primary, Kentuckians will have the choice of either voting for one of two brands of Fascism, or not going to vote at all.
Mitch will squeak by just like harry reed did in Nevada
DeleteIs Jesse Benton really Rand Paul's nephew?
ReplyDeleteNephew-in-law via marriage to Ron Paul's granddaughter.
Deletenot good news for the minority leader, but consider they went to the bluest of the blue cities in Kentucky, Louisville, where the only elected democrat in the US house in the state has his district, and had their local newspaper conduct a poll. Statewide, I would say there is not much interest in the contest until we see who wins the primary in May with Matt Bevin.
