Brownback is the least popular in the country, with a 26-65 approval rating. He still got re-elected. Bevin likely will as well.
We'll see what happens if little Beshear runs in 2019.

A few lawmakers wanted to do it. It might help Democrats by increasing turnout, but it might help Republicans by bringing in more national money.
However in 2012 60% of Kentucky voted for Mitt Romney over Obama. Unless the anti- Obamaprotest votes (East Kentucky) vote Democrat it won't be helpful.
It occurred to me after posting that, by moving the Gubernatorial election to the Presidential year, Gubernatorial candidates would get linked to the national party, which might well be a bad thing. Does anyone know if Democratic Senate candidates have faired any better in Presidential years?
