Grimes: 45, McConnell: 44
4/8/14, "Numbers don't lie," The Week, Jon Terbush
.
"Mitch McConnell's re-election campaign is in trouble. Republicans are favored to retake control of the Senate
in November, but if they do, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
may not be around to become the chamber's top lawmaker. That's because
McConnell remains deeply unpopular back home in Kentucky — so unpopular,
in fact, that he's trailing Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan
Grimes.
.
.
A new PPP poll
finds Grimes leading the incumbent 45 percent to 44 percent among
registered voters. Though the survey was commissioned by MoveOn.org,
that finding is in line with other recent surveys that have found
McConnell in a vulnerable position.
It's possible that McConnell's vociferous opposition to
ObamaCare may become a liability now that the health care law is
becoming more popular. And Kentucky in particular has been one of
ObamaCare's greatest success stories, which might make McConnell's calls
for repeal fall flat on his constituents." - -
