Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is so unpopular in Kentucky that the state’s voters thought KFC’s Colonel Sanders would be a better senator that McConnell.

According to PPP,

“In spite of KFC’s weak poll numbers Colonel Sanders remains a beloved figure, with 71% of voters seeing him favorably to only 8% with an unfavorable view. In fact they even think Colonel Sanders could be part of the solution to the problems in Washington- by a 47/27 spread voters in the state say they think Colonel Sanders would make for a better US Senator than Mitch McConnell. Too bad he’s dead.”

Total BS.

Did you knock on any doors in KY last fall?

I did, and it wouldn’t have mattered if Bill Clinto or JFK had run against Mitch.

They could not beat McConnell in KY.

All he had to do was say “War on Coal” “Guns” and “Gays” but mostly anything associated with Obama, however remotely, was pure poison.

They despise Obama like no other.

Lots and lots of Team Mitch lovers in KY, seriously.

Kentuckians On Everything You Can Think Of

-Kentucky voters continue to have a much bigger problem with the Affordable Care Act than Kynect, even though they are functionally the same thing. 33% of voters in the state approve of the Affordable Care Act, and 33% likewise approve of Kynect. But 47% say they disapprove of the Affordable Care Act, compared to only 29% who say they disapprove of Kynect. This disconnect comes almost entirely among people who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012- 76% of them oppose the Affordable Care Act to only 47% who oppose Kynect.

-There is strong support in Kentucky for increasing the state's minimum wage to $10.10 per hour- 58% support that compared to only 32% who are opposed. There is strong support for the increase among both Democrats (75/16) and independents (55/36), and even among Republicans 37% are in favor of it to 51% who are against it.............

1. Yet, they recently re-elected him.

And they like Obamacare much more than they like Obamacare.

Sometimes, you read something that makes you want to give up politics and take up tatting.

6. Yup. Was gonna post almost exactly this.

But one big issue is that people actually have to care enough to VOTE!

[merrily]

7. Even if they don't know whether to vote for Obamacare or Obamacare?

[Adrahil]

8. If they are voting McConnel out? Sure!

Progress is usually incremental.

Combating the right wing misinformation machine will take time.

[merrily]

9. I see your point and agree.

Problem is, people who don't know Obamacare from Obamacare are just as likely to vote in someone worse.

2. I'll believe it when they give him the boot. nt

[Delphinus]

3. Really?

I don't live in that state, but spent time and energy trying to get Allison Lunderman Grimes (am I remembering her name correctly!) elected - and they went with Mitch ... again. At that time she had a GREAT shot of winning ...

[House of Roberts]

4. Darrell Hammond playing Col. Sanders

would certainly do better.

[R. P. McMurphy]

5. I don't believe this.

They just re-elected this assclown. I believe that Kentucky voters, like those in my beloved Tennessee, are TOO FUCKING STUPID TO KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY WANT OR WHAT IS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST!
