2019 KY GOV Megathread, Andy Beshear wins

[Gracile]

The Republican Attorney General primary is super close -

Wil Schroder
14,396   50.1%
Daniel Cameron
14,337   49.9

Jefferson County just dumped and it gave Beshear a boost.

What the hell would a Beshear win against Bevin even look like in the general for all the people out there that say it's possible? lol at it happening with a rural resurgence.

I’m not sure but it’s definitely possible. Perhaps gigantic margins out of Louisville and Lexington and keeping rural losses at a minimum?

Louisville and Lexington alone will not overcome Republican strength in the more rural counties.

Beshear losing will dissuade Matt Jones or Rocky Adkins from running, leaving Amy McGrath as the only candidate for Senate. The only consolation will be Schumer's handpicked candidate getting BTFO in embarrassing fashion. Schumer picks his candidates like a weekend MSNBC host who believes the KY Democratic Party want to run on a #resistance platform.

It's not like Jones or Adkins would have much of a chance against McConnell anyway.

I will say that getting a good, public, quality, poll this close to the GE would help clean up this thread. The results would either confirm that the past month's circlejerking was necessary, or it will show that (un)popularity can override partisanship even in one of the trumpiest states.

Given Kentucky's polling history (consistently skewing Democratic), I doubt even a high-quality poll would be very instructive. And again, there are factors aside from polling that would lead people to logically peg this race as being slightly in Bevin's favor.

Excuse me, was I the only one that missed this poll?

Or are they releasing it just now?

If that was released I think the forum would've been off by a lot more than we were lol. I can't even see the logo for who did it it's so small.

It's Trafalgar, a Republican pollster with a history of iffy polling results.
