Every poll made public in the race between George Bush Cover-Up Artist Pat Roberts and Jim Slattery so far have said the same thing: Roberts is in significant trouble. A new poll, conducted by experts in Kansas polling Cooper & Secrest Associates, makes that recurring theme that much more clear, and enhances the case that Jim Slattery's race against Roberts is going to be the dark-horse upset campaign of the year.
Pat Roberts has lived in Washington since before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. On his> watch, gas prices have soared to record levels, the economy is in the tank, he has given George Bush his proxy in terms of whatever independent judgment he once had, and Kansas voters are increasingly ready for a change. Here is a true upset in the making. Is there precedent? See two-term Governor Kathleen Sebelius.
Don't believe them? When asked if they would prefer to vote for a Democratic or a Republican candidate for the United States Senate, 41% of Kansans said they'd prefer a Republican, while 40% said they'd rather vote for a Democrat.
That's a 10% surge for the Democrats since 2007, and that's Democrats & Republicans tied- in Kansas!
