I just saw a quick news item on the evening news.
A significant development tonight in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race. Three weeks after Republican Rand Paul claimed a 15-point lead in the WHAS-11/Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll, Democrat Jack Conway has closed the gap now, and the race is now a statistical dead heat. The poll of likely voters has Paul at 49% and Conway at 47%, within the survey's theoretical margin of sampling error. Conway is up 7 points, Paul is down 6 compared to an identical poll just three weeks ago. It is the first time Conway has been polled above 45% in our poll, and the first time Paul has polled below 51%.
The Bluegrass Poll was conducted by SurveyUSA. According to the on-screen graphics, 4% were undecided. The margin of error was +/- 4%.
This is awesome news. Conway's made up 13 points in just 3 weeks. Let's keep this momentum going!
