Tight Kentucky governor race could spell trouble for McConnell
by Kerry Picket
 | November 04, 2019 08:16 AM

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a Republican, finds himself in a tight reelection battle going into the final days of his campaign.

That could signal a tough reelection fight for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a former rival of the governor’s, in 2020.

According to the Real Clear Politics average, Bevin is neck-and-neck with his Democratic challenger, the state’s Attorney General Andy Beshear, and a Morning Consult survey shows a 53% disapproval rating for the governor in a state where President Trump is incredibly popular among GOP primary voters.

But Bevin has brushed aside those poll numbers, saying he feels more momentum as his campaign heads to the finish line.

"They're all the opinion of whoever puts the poll out. What matters is, is our state doing better?" he said to WLWT.

He's pulled even with that dirtbag Beshear...the current AG who's running on the Dem side.

4 months ago he was 8 points behind.

IMHO Bevin will win a second term.

Meh. You can't make automatic correlations between two races like that just based on party.

True.  Especially since McConnell's challenger has been a gaffe factory.

I still wish we were talking about Sen. Bevin instead of Gov. Bevin.

It is a deep red state everywhere other than the major urban areas of Louisville and Lexington.

You're right.

For those that don't know...the three areas that aren't red are Louisville, Lexington and Frankfurt.
