On the heels of Rand Paul's potentially game-changing gaffe about making seniors pay more for Medicare comes this new poll:
Republican Rand Paul has just a three-point lead in the Kentucky Senate race, taking 45 percent of the vote to Democratic state Attorney General Jack Conway’s 42 percent in a poll commissioned by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. The DSCC survey, conducted by the Benenson Strategy Group, shows Paul with almost evenly split favorability numbers: 44 percent of voters said they had a favorable impression of him, compared with 40 percent who said their impression was unfavorable. For Conway, those numbers were more positive: 43 percent favorable, 29 percent unfavorable.
As you can see, Rand Paul has a more clearly defined image -- just 16% don't have an impression of him. Conway, meanwhile, is still not as well known -- 28% have yet to form an impression. In all likelihood, the question of who wins this race will come down to whether Conway is able to make a favorable impression with that 28% who still doesn't know him. You can help him do that by donating $5 or $10 today to his campaign. Let's win this one and turn Kentucky blue!
