QuoteA recent Bluegrass Poll of the Kentucky U.S. Senate race found McConnell ahead of Democrat Grimes in a two-way race with a 47%-to-45% lead, albeit within the poll's margin of error, making them statistically tied.
The same poll shows McConnell maintains a two-point margin (41% to 39%) over Grimes in a three-way race, with Patterson receiving the support of 7% of the voters. Patterson's entry increases the number of undecideds from 8% to 13%, adding uncertainty into the race for McConnell.
The Bluegrass Poll of 604 likely voters was conducted between July 18 and July 23.
In a tight general election where the margin of victory is expected to be less than 5% – or 75,000 votes out of an anticipated 1.5 million votes to be cast – embittered supporters of Matt Bevin, the Tea Party-endorsed challenger who was "crushed" in the May 2014 Republican primary by McConnell 60% to 36%, could determine the outcome. It's conceivable that Grimes could ride pro-Bevin defectors to Patterson to victory.
I'd rather have a dem win, that's our obvious foe 24/7, than McConnell (or Alexander, Boehner, Corker, Graham, Rubio, Christie, Jeb, etc.) who pretend to be conservative half the time, then go full progressive whenever they can.
The pretenders are more damaging to conservatism than our real opponents.
