Can the pundits put a stop to this "Lean R" garbage now?

I'm beginning to come around to Conway being ahead - reading more about this race has made me realize nominating a woman beater or someone who is just chronically unlikable would've actually been a better choice for the GOP than nominating Matt Bevin. He's really running a disastrous campaign - flip flopping, whining to the DNC, putting out a tiny ad buy for no reason.

Someone needs to dump $20M yesterday. After all the heat and noise, both are at even favs & honesty, no topline change since July. As the Herald-Leader's Sam Youngman and Courier Journal's Joe Gerth noted recently, it's really a "who's running the less awfully crappy campaign" contest.

They're calling La too LR since its an offyear election. Same with MO gov and OH sen. Dems are tied or leading. Sabato needs to reevaluate  his methology, because Dems are winning.

15% undecided seems a little high at this point. In any case, after 2014, SUSA is junk until proven otherwise in KY. But even if this poll is accurate, the race remains a Toss-Up. It is a bad sign for Conway that he hasn't even crossed 45% yet.

There is a reason the RGA pulled ads here.

Basically, I've ignored his ratings. As long as the state is in play, I've considered it a tossup. Same with OH senate, La gov and MO gov race.

Every time I see "KY" and "SUSA" together, I always get worried.

There's still a month left. Plenty of time for the race to shift or for the undecideds to show their true colors (atlas blue?).

We don't even know where the race stands because there has been just one poll conducted by a non-joke pollster (PPP showed Bevin up 2). Isn't it funny how the red avatars insist that the MI polls showing the GOP ahead are trash but consider SUSA to be a reliable pollster?

I still am surprised that, after the disasterous race he ran against Rand Paul, Kentucky Democrats thought, yea, this is our guy in Jack Conway. He may beat Bevin, but he's an almost certain loss for re-election.

Will the GOP even still exist in 2019?

Quit trolling. Hillary's not winning in your state.

Bevin is a poor candidate and Kentucky has only elected one Republican governor in 40 years. At the state level, Democrats are still able to win the constitutional offices.

The RGA pulled ads for Bevin, which tells you just about all you need to know about the race.

I think this bodes well for his tenure as Attorney General.

I still think Bevin will win. Conway is only at 42%. He needs to be well above that to secure a win in Kentucky. Republicans break late and heavily for their candidate. If we learned anything from 2014, I think that is it. Plus its SUSA, which has a terrible track record in Kentucky.

I doubt Bevin will win, most KY voters dony agree about the Davis decision not to obey SSM ruling.

Voters are om the Dems, not GOP side, here.

Like Westerfield or Harmon have any chance at all. The others actually sound pretty close to what I'd expect.

Of course, Grimes is way ahead, which isn't surprising at all.

Why is Grimes being way ahead expected? McConnell  clobbered her by the 2nd widest margin of his career. Only in 2002 when Democrats didn't seriously contest the race did McConnell win by more than he did in 2014.
