While I don't expect to take down McConnell, these are some great numbers for the dems.

The matchup numbers are believable enough but I don't agree with McConell having a 56%-36% approval rating.  This comes after they claimed that Tim Kaine had a net disapproval rating in Virginia, I think for some reason their approvals might somewhat skewered or screwed.

In another recent poll, McConell led Stumbo 46%-41% *I think* and Luallen by a nearly identitical 46%-42% *I think* *again*.

Very good numbers for the Dems. I just hope some of the bad McConnell numbers aren't some sort of anti-Republican short-term backlash due to Fletcher.

McConnell's likely done more than enough to innoculate himself from any backlash due to Fletcher

BTW, it had been 36 years since a Republican had been elected governor of Kentucky (from Louie B Nunn in 1967 to Ernie Fletcher in 2003). Perhaps with a bit of luck once Fletcher gets his ass-handed to him by Steve Beshear it will be another 36 years before the Republicans win it again

Beshear should be a good governor. Too bad he's probably too old to run for anything else after 2 terms.

I think you have to assume that's at least part of it.  Republicans are struggling across the board in Kentucky right now because of Fletcher's weak numbers.  McConnell would be in real trouble if the Senate election was this Tuesday.

Yea, at 63, it kind of rules out any future Senate run. Beshear will be 71 should he serve two terms as governor. Mongardio, on the other hand, could though he'd likely seek his own mandate governor rather than give the Senate another shot
