KY SurveyUSA: Grimes +4 or +5

[Tender Branson]

SurveyUSA is historically an excellent KY pollster.

In 2004, they said Bush+21, Bush won by 20.

In 2008, they had McCain+16 and he won by 16.

Their 2012 poll cannot be used here, because it was conducted 2 months before the election while the other 2 were done just a few days before the election.

SurveyUSA is historically an excellent KY pollster.

I will always remember SurveyUSA as the folks who literally handed the 2003 governor election to Ernie Fletcher by putting out a press release saying he had already won. That was inexcusable.

I don't think it's a sign that they are a Republican company, but more that they were absolutely sure he'd win and they were arguing it this way ("Chandler never led", "this is the biggest lead so far").
