In the final Bluegrass Poll, it's Conway with 45 percent, Bevin with 40 percent, and Independent Drew Curtis with 6 percent.

Bevin ends the contest with a -6 net favorability rating as 38 percent of voters have an unfavorable opinion of him, compared to 32 percent who have a favorable opinion.

Conway ends the contest with a +4 net favorability rating as 36 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of him and 32 percent have an unfavorable opinion.

Curtis ends the contest where he started, largely unknown as 80 percent of voters have no opinion of Curtis, or have a neutral opinion of him.

Looking at the crosstabs and favorable numbers, I'd be shocked if Conway ends up losing this election.

My guess would be:

50-51% Conway
44-45% Bevin
    5-6% Curtis

All things considered, I'll be more shocked if Conway wins than if Bevin wins.

I'm inclined to agree. Curtis is not getting 6%, and I bet the undecideds are heavily McCain/Romney voters. SUSA also has a history of being far skewed towards the Dems in KY, though they've said they changed their methodology to fix that problem. I guess we'll see.

I hope I'm wrong though, it would be nice to see Bevin get flushed down the toilet again.

Polls in Kentucky could just as easily have a Republican bias this time. Since Bevin hasn't led in a single recent poll (not even a Republican internal poll), and Conway hasn't slipped, I'd be shocked if Bevin won. This isn't a senate race, it's not inconceivable for a Democrat to win here.

Maybe the cities have grown enough to carry the state for the Democrats, but if so, why aren't the Democrats doing better in Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, and a host of other states?

We could be seeing the collapse of Republicans in white rural areas.

All the more reason to believe so, then. If Bevin loses, it's not because of the supposed collapse of the GOP in rural white America, it's because he's a crap candidate.

Wasn't Conway supposed to have no chance at all and lose badly? I guess that isn't the case after all.

Is he really any worse than Paul LePage or Scott Walker?

KY, like OK, is land of the fake Democrats, people who identify as Democrats but never vote Democratic for any race, for any office, no matter how conservative. They will screw Conway as they have screwed the others. It's what gives them pleasure.

For the last time: SUSA is junk in KY. Always has been, always will be. They have done nothing to fix their problems over the past 5 years, as is demonstrated here:

Yeah the collapse of the white rural vote is why Kander, Strickland & Jupiter are competetive in their respective races, as well as Murphy.

This isnt 2004 or 2010.

I don't think it's the Republicans "collapsing" in rural white Kentucky so much as Bevin is so horrendously bad that Republicans aren't doing as well in rural white Kentucky as they need to.

If folks still take SUSA KY polls seriously now, then they should be treated just as seriously as Republicans treating one-year-before MI polls.

There's no point in even having polls, since they're never right anymore.

In every country in the world except the United States, if the election results contradict the polls, that's considered evidence the election was rigged.

Total BS.  Very few (serious) people thought the recent elections in the UK and Israel were rigged, even though both were badly off.
