More On Democratic Doom In KY US Senate Race
Here are the poll numbers to back up my recent discussion on the really bad spot Democrat candidates in Kentucky are in this year. The top Republican candidates hold a double digit lead on Mongiardo and a comfortable lead on Conway. The biggest problem for the Democratic candidates are neither of them poll over 40%. Mongiardo is around 36% and Conway is around 40%. 40% is the Democratic floor in this state.
Such a low percentage means that neither candidate has any appeal beyond their base constituency. That is a poor place to start. And will become painfully apparent once the Republican nominee start stying the Democratic winner to the Democratic leadership in D.C.
What is interesting is how little the drive by media has been able to effect the debate. No matter how much they pimp Democrats and attempt dividing Republicans, the poll numbers for their candidates are still in the toilet.
