Rand Paul has narrow lead over Conway in latest poll
By Jordan Fabian - 05/27/10 03:33 PM ET

Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul (R) is leading his Democratic challenger, Jack Conway (D), in a poll released Thursday.

Paul, who recently found himself in hot water for questioning the legality of portions of the Civil Rights Act, is leading Conway 44-40 percent with 9 percent undecided in a Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll taken May 24-26.

The margin of error is 4 percent, so Paul, an eye doctor, is statistically tied with the state attorney general. The survey polled likely voters.

Paul maintains a 53-33 favorability/unfavorability rating, showing that his comments about the Civil Rights Act have not caused major losses in support.

"This race's big battleground will be independent voters — Paul is currently winning them 42-31, with 27 percent undecided, and Democrats, where Conway is only getting 75 percent to Paul's 7 Percent, with 18 percent undecided," the site's founder Markos Moulitsas writes.,

1. Did the voters in KY *not* hear what Paul has been saying lately?

This is just sad. Sad sad sad that anyone like this is anywhere near the US Senate.

I weep for my country.

2. If that asshole is elected Kentucky goes on my 'do not visit' list too.

Fucking dipshits.

3. What I don't get is that in the primary

a lot more democrats voted than republicans. Heck, the loser on the dem side had more votes than Paul had in winning on the GOP side. So how does a poll come out a few days later with that idiot in the lead? I find it hard to believe that those dems that voted for the loser in their race are going to cross over and vote for this moron. Is there something in Kentucky I am not understanding?

4. The election isn't tomorrow...

there's plenty of time, and plenty more opportunities
for Dr. Paul to put his foot in his mouth,
and his head up his ass.

Even if he hides under a rock from now until doomsday,
we have it on video...

Kentucky people are nobody's fools..
