Jenkins 49
Wakefield 42

Obviously it's an internal, but is the wave really this strong?

I don't find this surprising at all...

You're right - Brownback is bringing everyone down. That being said, taking into account that this is a Democratic internal, I am not overly surprised by the results. The 2nd lost all of Manhattan and picked up all of Lawrence - this will be the first election to reflect that. This is only an R+7 district. I've maintained the belief for a while that Jenkins will only win this race by around ten points, and this poll seems to back that up. A bit of a drop from 2012 reflected by Brownback's low approvals and the effect of redistricting.

Wakefield has a pretty excited base behind her, though I think Jenkins is going to be able to use her financial advantage to ensure that Wakefield doesn't get the moderate and somewhat conservative voters she needs to win here. Wakefield and Davis both have a slight problem and it is only a matter of time before it is exposed - both go around campaigning as reasonable moderates, yet where they stand on the issues/voting records paints a much different picture.

Either way I hope that more grassroots organizations start pouring money into this race (and KS-03). They don't seem totally far-fetched.

Jenkins did go on the air with an ad featuring Bob Dole, so there might be something up here.

Anzaolne Lizst is a pretty terrible D internal, from the West Virginia races they've done in 2012 has proven, so this is trash.
