Kentucky Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell leads Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes by 3.7 points among likely voters in a new Big Red Poll, conducted by the WKU Social Science Research Center.
McConnell had 45.4 percent while Grimes had 41.7 percent. Libertarian candidate David Patterson had 5.3 percent, and 7.6 percent were undecided.
McConnell’s lead was inside the margin of error of 4 points for the poll, which surveyed an overall sample of 601 registered voters from Oct. 6-20. (The survey did not specify a margin of error for the sample of likely voters.)
A Bluegrass Poll released Monday found McConnell with a narrow 1-point lead.
Both polls suggest the Kentucky Senate race remains tight, and that McConnell has a slight edge.
Disqualified my ass. This race is dead even.
So I guess that the Rasmussen and Gallup polls were bullshit after all and that all the folks who were claiming that the race was over because Grimes wasn’t a “true” Democrat or had run a terrible campaign were just talking out their asses.
Thank you! I’ve been so annoyed with people who say “I’ve given up hope on this race.” Are you kidding me? The first time McConnell has been on the ropes in 30 years and you’re giving up because she’s down 2 percent??? It’s absurd. She’s got a chance, and it’s the Nate Silvers and his followers of the world who write people off too quickly. Human behavior can’t be whittled down to a number. There are a lot of other factors, and enthusiasm is a big one. Stop raining on her chances haters.
Well well well. The voters have has 2 weeks to digest Chuck Todd’s idiotic remarks and she’s still around. You know Mitch is desperate if he needs to give Todd a starring role in his attack commercials. Now that he’s thrown the kitchen sink, What’s next?
Benghazi!!!
Bah, if Grimes had just admitted she voted for a politician that 60% of the voting population of Kentucky voted against she would be ahead by eleventy-hundred plus percent! Obviously she is a failure of a disqualified candidate who no-one should vote for! /s
