Conway’s campaign responded:
“There is an old Kentucky saying that liars figure and figures lie,” Mark Riddle, Conway’s campaign manager, said in a statement. “A polling sub sample of 336 interviews in a major statewide election is not considered credible. It has a wildly high margin of error. It is curious and fair to ask why would they not release the rest of the poll? Who paid for the poll? And how were the questions asked and then pushed?”

There could also be a concern in the Mongiardo camp that fund raising is drying up and a poll with favorable numbers needed to be release to light the fire under donors that are on the fence.
I just don’t understand why you’d release a poll this early… The one horse town routine isn’t going to work… they aren’t going to be able to push Conway out of this race with their “HUGE” lead.
Just kinda odd…

yawn – wake me when we reach the 1-year-out mark.
Seriously. Who wants to see POLLS this early? Keep this up, and someone could enter at the last minute and beat them both by running on “shorter election cycles and less press releases.”
