Republican voters in Kentucky have to real choices in their gubernatorial primary in three weeks. They can 1) stick with their corrupt, under investigation, hugely unpopular incumbent governor, or 2) they can elect formerly popular but ousted Rep. Ann Northup who, by all indications, doesn't have anywhere near the ethical stench of her opponent.

Republicans being Republicans, it looks like they're leaning toward the crook.

SurveyUSA. 4/28-30. Likely primary voters. MoE 4% (Dems), 4.9% (Reps) (3/31-4/2 results)

Republicans

Fletcher 46 (40)
Northup 34 (31)

Democrats

Lunsford 29 (20)
Beshear 23 (15)
Henry 18 (20)

If Fletcher pulls off the primary win, Democrats can start celebrating early.
