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.
