Ms. Grimes leads Mr. McConnell by 1 point, 45 percent to 44 percent. The poll conducted on behalf of two liberal groups — the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy For America — has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.

The telephone survey of 1,210 Kentucky voters found that 40 percent approve of Mr. McConnell’s job performance and 51 percent disapprove, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

2. There's a reason...

Her daddy, Jerry Lundergan was Democratic Party State Chair and also once elected to state legislature. A reporter referred to her as from a prominent political family. Let's just say, some of their prominence came from investigations into wrong doing.
