KS: Survey USA: Davis Continues to Lead

[IceSpear]

Wonderful news! Looks like Gov. Brownkoch will be in for quite a trashing in one of the most Republican states in the country.

It's easy to be popular as a Senator when all you have to do is sit back and vote "no" on everything. It's a lot harder to be popular when you actually start implementing your far-right teabagger agenda.

It's also worth noting that he does pitifully against his primary challenger, only leading 55-37.

Ok, time to move this to toss-up. IceSpear raises a really good point. Perhaps that's why all the Tea Partiers run for Senate instead of Governor? So they can just breathe fire without having to actually accomplish anything?

Probably. Another reason could be that gubernatorial races are more about your policies and less about the scary black man in the White House.

It could also explain why dumb as a post Scott Brown decided to carpetbag to NH rather than run in the much more winnable MA gubernatorial race.

I'm pretty skeptical.  I think Brownback will win anyway.  SurveyUSA was the same pollster that put Christie's job disapproval in NJ at 63% his first few months in office, even as most pollsters had it much higher.

SurveyUSA was also the only pollster to have McCaskill winning in a landslide, whereas everyone else thought she'd win narrowly.
