It's starting to look somewhat grim for the Kentucky GOP...

Incidentally, Heiner - not Comer - has a pretty commanding lead in the Republican primary now.

Eh, let's remember that SUSA kind of sucks at polling KY. I won't easily forget all their heartbreaking "Grimes within the MoE" polls even when nobody else was showing it close.

Wow, Conway leads 2 with SURVEYUSA 8 months out. Astounding.

Still a Toss-Up.

After watching McConnell win by 15 points in a race that was supposed to be neck and neck, I'm skeptical of this actually being true come November, especially when it comes from SUSA, who showed Grimes ahead in OCTOBER.

Yes. And their final poll had McConnell only up 5.

Remember, this is the pollster that got Ernie Fletcher "elected." They're not exactly a big Democratic pollster.

Plus, Conway is leading in every non-Republican poll, sometimes by as much as 12 against Comer.

Will The Media do its best to destroy Conway and the Democrats? Yes.

The real question is: Will it be enough?

Are the KY state Democrats just riding high off Beshear's popularity?

Before they held the state house, I didn't think this race was winnable for Dems. But I guess it'll be the tossup of 2015.

Maybe it has more to do with the Republicans' unpopularity. The GOP made "right-to-work" its top priority, which has ruined the GOP at the state level.

The KYGOP isn't ruined, in fact it's probably stronger today than any other time in american history.

Toss-up. Whatever the accuracy of this poll may be, +2 is not exactly a commanding lead.

SUSA doesn't suck at polling. Every pollster sucked in 2014 save for a couple of coincidentally-correct pollsters; SUSA has a great track record by and large.

The Courier-Journal has a big article about how SurveyUSA has recalibrated its poll this time to give more "accurate" results...

http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2015/03/10/bluegrass-poll-revamped-improve-results/24718143

In other words, they've changed their methodology to reflect Republicans rigging elections. Such is the state of polling today.

I come to threads discussing Kentucky's elections just for Bandit's analysis.  His analysis is the best analysis, very yes.

Ever hear of the complete decimation of Democratic officeholders from West Virginia to Tennessee? Just because there's one county that still supports Democrats (even though it barely voted for Obama over Romney in 2012) indicates one trend: it's moving to the Republicans. In 2000, Gore won the county by thirty points (despite Bush winning the state by 15), but in 2012, Obama won the county by three points (27% total drop in twelve years) while the margin for the Republican margin in Kentucky only increased by 8%.
