And there´s none of these Democrats in the ring yet, considering their favorables ? 
McConnell is harder to beat in reality than on paper. As the Kentucky Democrats have found out on more than one occasion.
I agree. It's funny, because historically Bunning has looked stronger on paper than he is in reality (and McConnell has been the reverse). Certain candidates often poll better or worse than the numbers they actually get in races - Talent in MO has been a recent, classic example of a candidate who overpolls.
I'm sure that Al is remembering 1990, or to a greater extent 1996, where McConnell beat future Gov. Steve Beshear 55%-43% without debating him, essentially running a bunch of silly attack ads, even while Clinton beat Dole in the Presidential race.
Anyway, Stumbo is in the race, Chandler is not and I have heard nothing about the rest of these candidates. Stumbo, IMHO, is an ok, but not top-tier challenger, as this poll indicates. Even with weak approvals and not great numbers in the general, I see no reason to change my present analysis.
