Title: Re: KS: Survey USA: Roberts Leads in Primary and General Post by: Tender Branson on June 26, 2014, 01:02:46 AM If Roberts would lose the primary and the race were open, the Democratic candidate would actually lead the race, despite the poll showing a strongly Republican electorate in November (56% R, 28% D and 16% I):
Quote Now, what if the candidates for United States Senator were Republican Milton Wolf, Democrat Chad Taylor, Libertarian Randall Batson, and Independent Greg Orman ? 36% Chad Taylor (D) 33% Milton Wolf (R) 7% Greg Orman (I) 6% Randall Batson (L) 18% Undecided http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=0023d453-4961-455d-b23a-15124b96a205 Title: Re: KS: Survey USA: Roberts Leads in Primary and General Post by: LeBron on June 26, 2014, 02:04:08 AM I guess it really is time to move this race to likely R if Republican voters hate Roberts enough to give the L and I that much support lol. Assuming Taylor beats Weismer for the Democratic nomination, we do have a strong candidate for the general
With the Tea Party pulling out of Mississippi now, this might actually be the next best and only target left of knocking off a Republican Senator. Wolf is making some basic mistakes that McDaniel may have made, but Roberts had about a 30% approval in PPP's last poll here IIRC. For Wolf, he can at least effectively attack Roberts for living out of state (which wasn't an option for McDaniel) plus Wolf has the Tea Party backing and huge inroads he could make on name ID and airtime to quite possibly pull an upset on Roberts. The primary isn't until August, so there will be some extra time to get the primary competitive. The primary poll still has Wolf trailing by a huge margin: Quote If the Republican Primary for United States Senator were today, which Republican would you vote for? Pat Roberts - 56% Milton Wolf - 23% D.J. Smith - 4% Alvin Zahnter - 4% Undecided - 12% http://ksn.com/2014/06/25/ksn-news-poll-june-25-2014-primary-questions |
