Mary Christine and Associates for the Republican Main Street Partnership (likely voters, 4/9-10):
Jim Ryun (R): 50%
Lynn Jenkins (R): 34%
(MoE: ±5%)
With Kansas’ primary on August 5th, Jenkins has time to make up the missing ground here, but Ryun is sitting in a strong position in the money race and the polls. Will the Kansas GOP really embrace a “moderate” like Jenkins, the state’s treasurer?

Moderates and ubber conservatives fight and fight and fight, and then the only candidate that isn’t bloodied after the primaries is the Democrat? I mean, that’s good for us? But if I were them, I’d move the primary up a lot sooner, more time to heal wounds, if that is even possible in Kansas.

I think Boyda is pretty safe.
