PPP's latest shows Kentucky's not-so-junior Senator, Jim Bunning, crashing, burning and withering to nothingness against the cream of the Kentucky Democratic Party.
As Swing State Project's Crisitunity would say, our man Jim is in Santorum Country.
Public Policy Polling. 4/2-3. Registered voters. MoE 4%. (No trend lines)

Rep. Ben Chandler, AG Jack Conway, State Auditor Crit Luallen and Lieutenant Governor Dan Mongiardo all hold Bunning to 36% or less.
Those are Santorum-esque numbers indeed. Heck, those numbers make John Sununu's 2008 polling numbers look fantastic.
But we already knew Bunning was doomed. The real news in this poll is that two Dem candidates - Chandler and Conway - are leading Grayskull.
He's the best guy the Kentucky GOP has, so it's nice to know that our two announced candidates, Mongiardo and Conway, are either competitive (Mongiardo) or leading (Conway).
