SurveyUSA (5/16-18, likely voters):
Kay Barnes (D): 39
Sam Graves (R-inc): 49
Other: 8
Undecided: 5
(MoE: ±4.3%)
Barnes holds Graves under 50%, but she still faces an uphill climb to close the gap. Anyway you cut it, this one will be a marquee race this fall.
SSP currently rates this race as Leans Republican.
But not bad. Barnes has a lot of money and this will be a real race.
Also. Is there any “other” candidates running? 8 percent for “Other” seems pretty high.
I think Barnes will begin to narrow down that lead once she gets her name ID up. Looking at the cross tables Barnes only got 69% of the Democrats, and 34% of the Independets, and also 50% of graves supporters say they could still change their mind compared to 34% of Barnes.
I imagine that Kay Barnes will narrow down Graves leed and this will become top pick up oppertunity.
Kay Barnes just “won” an negative ad skirmish with Sam Graves where he tried to tie her to the dreaded “San Fransisco values”. Her commercial fired back with a commercial mocking Sam Graves for thinking his San Fransisco values commercial reflected what was important to the voters and claiming essentially this is why he is ineffective in Congress.
Point Barnes.
Go Kay Go!
Kay Barnes is the more accomplished politician, with how she improved downtown Kansas City. Go Kay Go! If ya’ll haven’t, check out her official site for more info on Kay and her “Midwest” values.
