Poll: Mitch McConnell Trailing In Senate Race

Rasmussen:

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the Kentucky Senate race shows Democratic challenger Bruce Lunsford with a five percentage point lead over long-time Republican Senator Mitch McConnell. The poll, conducted just two days after Lunsford won the Democratic nomination, shows the challenger with 49% of the vote while McConnell earns 44%.

These results stand in stark contrast to the Presidential race in Kentucky--John McCain leads Barack Obama by twenty-five percentage points. However, just 67% of McCain voters currently plan to vote for McConnell. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of McCain voters say they will split the ticket and vote for Lunsford. Recognizing the overall political dynamic, McConnell issued a statement last week indicating that he is looking forward to running against the "Lunsford-Obama plan for America."

McConnell issued a statement last week indicating that he is looking forward to running against the "Lunsford-Obama plan for America."

That approach worked out so well in Mississippi, Senator, it should be a real winner for you in Kentucky too. NOT!

Have you SEEN McConnell interviewed lately?
He is old as dirt and senile.
Just because Senators, Congressmen & Presidents can be Elderly doesn't mean thier constituants will stupidly vote for them. And that goes for McCain.
And people are saying Hilary Clinton won't bow out gracefully.
These guys should retire and enjoy their Golden Years with dignity. We need people with more energy and ideas that came to them AFTER WWII to run our country.
I think the elderly have a place in politics- as ADVISORS.
