Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell appears to be in good shape to win reelection on Tuesday, according to the final Bluegrass Poll of the Kentucky Senate race.
The 30-year incumbent leads Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes by 5 points, a margin of 48 percent to 43 percent, just outside the margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.1 percentage points.
Libertarian David Patterson has 3 percent and an additional 6 percent are undecided.
The same survey showed McConnell up by just 1 point in mid-October. He actually trailed Grimes by 2 points in a Bluegrass poll released early October.
The poll, conducted by SurveyUSA for major Kentucky newspapers and TV stations, features interviews with 597 likely voters in Kentucky from Oct. 25-29.
It extends McConnell’s lead to 3.2 percentage points in the TPM PollTracker average.
