Jack Conway’s U.S. Senate campaign just claimed a 17-point lead over Daniel Mongiardo.
From the campaign announcement:
- A survey conducted by nationally acclaimed pollster Pete Brodnitz revealed that Jack Conway holds a 17-point lead among Democrats who know both candidates. Democratic primary voters are more satisfied with Conway’s job performance – with Conway’s net job approval at plus 11% (43% to 32%) – while Mongiardo has a net negative job rating (39% to 43%).
- Brodnitz’s poll also shows that Mongiardo, not unexpectedly since he has run 5 races in 9 years, has a 16-point name ID advantage over Conway. However, once voters hear information about both Conway and Mongiardo, Jack Conway expands his lead to 23 points.
- Another poll recently taken by Executive Communications (10-22-09) indicates that Jack Conway holds a 10-point lead (25% to 15%) among registered Democrats with over half the electorate undecided. This poll also reveals that the recent audio tapes raise devastating character questions about Dan Mongiardo revealing him to be a backstabbing, double talking politician far different from the way he sells himself. This latest survey shows that 62% of voters may have heard something about the tapes in which Mongiardo calls our Governor an “SOB” and “whore.”
- Mongiardo’s self proclaimed lead that he touted in May has evaporated (Garin Hart Yang poll 5-28-09), and in poll after poll Mongiardo continues to trail both Trey Grayson and Rand Paul.
And even more from the release:
While Dan Mongiardo has spent the last decade campaigning, his record of achievement is lackluster. His continued ethical lapses are troubling, and the recent audiotapes reveal the blind ambition of a politician who will say or do anything to get elected. Take a moment and imagine what the Republican spin machine led by Mitch McConnell will do next fall against Mongiardo if he is nominated. This seat – Wendell Ford’s U.S. Senate seat – is too important to take that risk.
This latest survey showing Jack Conway leading by 17 points is just the latest in a series of good news for the campaign. Recently, Jack announced raising more than $2 million and now holds a two-to-one cash advantage over Mongiardo.
Interesting, eh?

Yea Right. The SurveyUSA poll is one of the most accurate polls in all of the USA…. until it returns results the other guy (Conway) doesn’t like.
I ran a poll and the results say- It is 90 degrees and sunny and highly recommends wearing a good sunblock.
Conway is hurting and he is manipulating numbers like they all do to spin it to favor him.

At this stage, spinning and trumpeting a poll that shows you losing by 3 percent is pathetic.

If Paul beats Grayson, neither Conway nor Mongiardo will have to worry about the “McConnell spin machine.” Mitch will be quieter than he was during the 2007 GOP gubernatorial primary.

Cool…lets have all the candidates talk about polls as there can’t be anything more important to argue about than polls! Right?

and Conway asks for contributions at the end of his message. Contribute? Why? I really don’t see his campaign doing anything which would warrant contributions.

Whoa. This one has more spin that a kiddie ride at Beech Bend Park. Kim Geveden could learn a little from whoever wrote this memo.
Jake, we all know you are for Conway, and some of us are too. But this bullshit makes him and his campaign look more like Mongiardo’s every day. You need to address this with your friend. He needs all the votes he can get and this crap doesn’t help.

Maybe you should read the post that went live about 45min ago?
I’ve been totally honest and up front about the Conway camp’s apparent desire to lose this race.

Agreed that the Conway campaign needs to put some fight into this campaign. I just hope he’s not dishonest with voters in the process, as the Mongiardo team frequently has been.
