Here's the trend:

In the Dec. 2012 PPP poll from KY, Hillary led Paul by 5 (47-42).

In their April 2013 poll, the race was tied 45-45.

And now she's down by 6.

I think there could be 4 reasons for this trend:

* A) Benghazi - With more people aware of the situation, Hillary might have dropped.

* B) The general drop in favour for the Democrats in recent months.

* C) the margin of error

* D) the fact that Rand Paul is now seen as a more likely 2016 candidate, which leads more people in KY to take him serious. (the previous polls showed that people didn't want Paul to run in 2016, that figure is now much higher).

Heh, Cruz.

The reason why Hillary has dropped is down towards her being seen as a national Dem rather than a non-partisan SOS. This comes as a surprise to no-one.

Also, it would help matters if The Media would cover the Rand Paul plagiarism scandal - which they've ignored.

Why won't PPP poll AR? Because we need a new TX poll a few weeks?

or New Jersey for that matter. Maybe Christie is giving the opportunity to a diverse and very educated state to reconsider the Republican Party. More likely, the average voter wants someone who will keep Government affordable and not charge head first into things they aren't comfortable yet but still wants a Government that provides good services and respects civil rights.

I still predict that by state-to-state margins, this election will look a lot like 2000. Hillary is a terrible candidate for the Mountain West and the Southeast compared to Obama, but will improve upon his performance in the interior South and Rustbelt, though I have my doubts she will actually flip any states there (losing Arkansas by 5% instead of 25% is still losing Arkansas).

Regardless of what polls say now, I doubt that Kentucky will vote to the left of Iowa or Colorado in the end.

Poor Ted Cruz has become the male version of Sarah Palin in the GOP. Having said that, I sure hope he gets the nomination. I wonder if Hillary or the Democratic PACs will take a page out of Claire McCaskill's playbook and run some ads during the Republican primary saying that Ted Cruz was responsible for the government shutdown, is too conservative, etc., that will help energize their base to vote for him.

Kentucky will not vote for Hillary. It's actually amazing that her husband won it amidst his war with the tobacco industry.

Still quite a large drop for Republicans considering the 2008/2012 results.

The way things are going, it just might. This poll was taken many weeks ago.

Did you check the age breakdown?

Let's be honest: Old people are more likely to die before 2016. And they're more Republican.

Oh no question, but Obama is the worst possible pick for Kentucky.

You know there won't be enough deaths by 2016. You must be joking if you think Kentucky will actually do Democratic in the next election. Wait until the 2020 election for that.

Uh, Hillary is already beating Ted Cruz in that poll.

Come on, once campaign season starts, Kentucky is going to settle back in the Republican camp.

Didn't you say the only reason Kerry lost KY was because of voter fraud?

Clinton will obviously do better in the state, but the votes aren't there to actually get a plurality against anyone except perhaps Cruz.
