Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) is slipping behind independent Greg Orman in the Kansas Senate race, according to a new Fox News poll released Saturday.

Fox News gave Orman a small lead over Roberts, 44 percent to 43 percent. That’s a significant reversal from the pollster’s last survey of the race in early October, which showed Roberts with a 5-point lead, 44 percent to 39 percent.

The poll, conducted from Oct. 28-30, surveyed 907 likely voters. Its margin of error is 3 points.

Most polling has suggested a neck-and-neck race in Kansas heading into Election Day. According to TPM’s PollTracker average, Orman is currently up, 44.3 percent to Roberts’ 42 percent.

  1. I live just east of KC MO, and Orman is going to win this, as is Davis for Governor. That new economic data that was just released this past week, showing Kansas in an even deeper hole than first thought, was the final nail. If both of them lose Johnson county, which I will probably know from local news here early, then the game is over and shut out the lights, because it is over for them both.

    What about Kobach?

  3. I heard yesterday he was tied with Schodorf. I sure hope he gets kicked out on his slimy ass.

    If he and Brownback lose,gonna be hard for Orman to go ®.

  5. I agree. If he were to win I really wish he were the liberal Roberts makes him out to be. Sadly, I realize he’s definitely not.
