McConnell, Lunsford race a dead heat

The Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll on Kentucky's Senate race is out, and it has some bad news for Mitch McConnell:

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Bruce Lunsford are knotted in a statistical tie for McConnell’s seat, according to the latest Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll.

The poll found that each candidate would get the support of 41 percent of likely voters if the election were held today. But McConnell nudged ahead 45-44 when undecided likely voters who were leaning toward a candidate were included into the poll results.

...The margin of error is 3.7 percentage points.

Bruce Lunsford sums it all up pretty well:

“We’re headed in the wrong direction, and eight years of Bush-McConnell economics are at the very heart of the matter. We need change now, more than ever.”

Let's ditch Mitch this November. Please support Bruce Lunsford!
