    So PPP shows a 21 point margin for Paul over Grayson in GOP primary and almost identical victories for Rs in general? Maybe McConnell is no longer magic with many in Kentucky GOP? Give it some thought, Trey.

    Jake,

    You have Bunning’s numbers for McConnell.

    Thanks! I updated the data. Sorry for the mistake.

    That’ll teach me to put these things together while I’m doing a radio interview, won’t it?

    Sloppy doesn’t cut it. I’m glad I have you guys to catch my mistakes.

    Just curious, Jake, but how far does Rand Paul have to be ahead before you add him to the tag list?
    Also, why didn’t this poll list some of the minor candidates? Bill Johnson’s own poll shows him at 14%, which I doubt, but it would be interesting to know if he was still at 2%. The last poll showed Johnson at 12% among liberal Republicans, a high number considering how conservative the man is.

    I’ll add Rand Paul to the categories if he wins the election.

    As far as polling for Johnson? He’s a fringe candidate. Rand Paul and Trey Grayson are the front-runners.

    Who did Johnson’s polling? A kid in his basement?
