You still did not provide a link. AGAIN... The only recent poll I found had them tied and Bevin beating the democrat.
Why won't the man retire?
Matt Bevin Leads Grimes by 6 in KY; McConnell TiedThere is a reason Democrats are targeting US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in red state Kentucky: he is wildly unpopular, uncharismatic, and ineffective. McConnell's lead has continued to shrink, from a 7 point advantage, down to 4, 1, and now a tie. It has little to do with a surge by Grimes, who has remained unmoved since entering the race. All of McConnell's erosion is his own.
The latest Rasmussen Report poll (that shows a 42-42 tie between McConnell and Grimes) also shows conservative alternative Matt Bevin up 6 on the Democrat. This is a marked improvement from a December poll by PPP that had both Republicans up on Grimes by 1. Though they did not release any primary race figures, Matt Bevin has increased his standing in the primary with every new poll, and the momentum is very Rubio-esque in nature.
Here are two things Kentucky conservatives should now consider:
1) If Matt Bevin is electable - and two separate polls now suggest he might be even more electable - should conservatives go with the more conservative of the two? Is it now a greater risk to have McConnell in the race? The establishment candidates blew every race in 2012, so giving them the benefit of the doubt is out of the window.
2) If the GOP retakes control of the Senate, do we really want Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader? Or would we conservatives rather another vote in a new direction? The Senate and Congress are already at bottom-of-the-barrel levels in terms of public opinion, and how does that change by staying with the status quo?
