Last week, SUSA shook KY and America with its poll showing Mitch “Wall St.” McConnell and Bruce Lunsford in a statistical tie at 49-46%. The poll was a 9 point plunge for McConnell, despite the fact that Democrats were severely undersampled.
And what do we have today? From Mason-Dixon’s new poll:
The latest Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll shows that Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race between Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democrat Bruce Lunsford is a statistical tie.
The telephone survey of 717 likely voters taken last week showed that McConnell and Lunsford are in a dead heat when respondents were asked who they would vote for if the election were held “today.”
McConnell moves ahead by one point when those who are undecided are asked which candidate they are leaning toward. The Bluegrass Poll, which was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc., has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
No, that’s not KY rain you feel, that’s Mitch McConnell sweating bullets…
The exact #’s will be out soon, I’ll update you.

I imagine this government bailout of $700 billion has to be playing VERY poorly for republicans in places like Kentucky. Our candidates need to hammer away on this issue.
was here last weekend campaigning for Lunsford, that certainly helped.
