KY-Sen: McConnell Leads by 7 in New Poll

Rasmussen (10/21, likely voters, 9/30 in parens):

Bruce Lunsford (D): 43 (42)

Mitch McConnell (R-inc): 50 (51)

(MoE: ±4.5%)

Rasmussen continues to splash a little cold water on the idea that this race is a tossup, but the trend has been good for Lunsford since July. McConnell continues to lose support from Democrats (down to 23% from 28% in the September poll), but made up some ground among unaffiliated voters. If I were McConnell, I’d still be scared of these trend lines, though.

UPDATE: The DSCC is out with a new ad hitting McConnell on trade:

  2. HAHA  Coleman’s approval is at 38/58 while Klobuchar is at 59/32.  Great to be a dem nowadays.  

    Though I imagine future Senator Franken will be the type who rarely sees an approval much over 50% if at all.  I hope I’m wrong.

    Job approval for Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman has fallen to Minus 20, the lowest it has been in 39 months of SurveyUSA tracking. 38% approve of Senator Coleman today. 58% Disapprove.

    Junior Senator, Amy Klobuchar continues to stay in positive territory with a net job approval of Plus 27.   59% approve of her performance. 32% disapprove.

  3. Great ad.

    I don’t believe Rass, I think they might be a outliner. It’s tough but this is the first Senate race we’ll be getting results from so we will see how big the wave is then. Of course, polls in Minnesota don’t close for a few hours after that so by the time I collapse back at home it will probably be over.

  4. I would imagine that Martin would win Georgia, Franken would win Minnesota, and Musgrove would win Mississippi.  That would give us 62 seats and 11 pickups (We definitely have won VA, NM, and CO, most likely NH, and probably NC, OR, and AK).

    I’d love to see Noriega win Texas and Rice to win Oklahoma, but something major must occur for that to happen.
