Perhaps I am in denial, but I simply do not believe these polls.

New York Times polling analyst Nate Cohn says the numbers don't look good for Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes in her campaign to unseat Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell:
Every survey over the last month shows Mr. McConnell ahead by more than four points, including two traditional live-interview surveys that contacted voters via a cellphone, one Internet panel survey and a nonpartisan automated poll that contacted voters without a landline by means of an online panel.
On average, Mr. McConnell leads by five points, and Leo, The Upshots Senate election forecasting model, now gives him a 93 percent chance of winning re-election.
That's only slightly higher than Daily Kos Poll Explorer, which puts McConnell at 89 percent, and the point is clear: All objective evidence suggests that Mitch McConnell is pulling ahead and that Grimes needs to change things up if she wants to win the election.

(14,449 posts)but since it is a red state full of Republicans, it is much harder. I hope Allison somehow beats turtle, but something dramatic needs to happen soon....October surprise perhaps?

(1,665 posts)Just recently he claimed to have saved over 400 jobs and of course their were 3 04 middle-aged white people saying how much he care about Kentucky.
His job claim may, or may not, be true but those 400 jobs cant possibly make up for his obstructionism and lack of leadership on real job legislation and minimum wage
