SurveyUSA is out with a new poll of the Kentucky Senate race, and the numbers look good for Republican nominee Rand Paul. The new survey, conducted from July 27 to July 30, shows Paul up 51%-43% over Democratic state Attorney General Jack Conway.
This is SurveyUSA’s second poll of the race since the May 18 primaries. The first, from May 27, found Paul up 51%-45%. And although SurveyUSA joins Rasmussen in showing a seven- or eight-point race, other pollsters have depicted a tighter contest. A PPP (D) poll from June 30 found things all tied up at 43%, and a Braun Research survey from July 21 showed Paul up by about three points.
The TPM Poll Average of the race puts Paul ahead 47.6%-42.8%. The margin of error for the latest SurveyUSA poll is ±4.2 percentage points.
