SurveyUSA poll: Lunsford within striking distance

SurveyUSA just released a poll on Kentucky's Senate race. They find that Bruce Lunsford is doing astonishingly well:

KY Senate Race: McConnell and Lunsford Start Off Neck and Neck

Incumbent Republican US Senator Mitch McConnell leads Democrat Bruce Lunsford by 4 points in a poll with a 4.0 percentage point margin of sampling error, according to this SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WHAS-TV Louisville, WLEX-TV Lexington, and WCPO-TV Cincinnati.

McConnell can't be very happy to learn that Lunsford is within the margin of error in this poll. Ol' Mitch shouldn't be too surprised though; his partisan obstructionism in the Senate is surely one reason why Kentuckians are opting for Lunsford.
