All Is Well!
A month ago, Lally the GOP nominee in the 3rd district came out with an internal poll that showed him in a dead heat with Yarmuth!. It was scoffed at by not only the Yarmuth! campaign but by the media as well. We were told that Yarmuth!'s far left agenda was what the people in the 3rd district wanted and Yarmuth! would easily win re-election.
Fast forward to today and the latest SurveyUSA poll on the race.
That is pretty much the definition of a statistical dead heat. Yet, Yarmuth! tries to act like everything is alright.
But in all seriousness, the Yarmuth! campaign has to be very worried. Lally's name recognition can't be that high and he is already in a statistical dead heat with Yarmuth! Even worse, Yarmuth is polling under 50% which is the danger zone for any encumbent. Sadly I think today we also got a peek at the coming Yarmuth strategy. He is obviously planning to attack Lally as an extremist while talking about all of the pork he brought to Louisville.
That strategy seems eerily similar to the strategy Northup used against Yarmuth! 4 years ago. Remember, 4 years ago was also a wave year. November could be very interesting in the Ville.

| Yarmuth! | 47 |
| Lally | 45 |

Hmmm, sounds familiar... where have I heard this before?"This race is just beginning," Yarmuth countered, "The community has no idea who Todd Lally is."
And Yarmuth says voters will learn that Lally is extreme.
