| GOP poll shows McConnell up big over Bevin |
| 2014-03-11 |
| [THEHILL] Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has a nearly 40-point lead over his primary challenger, Matt Bevin, in a new Republican survey of the Kentucky Senate GOP primary. The survey, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies for the pro-McConnell group Kentuckians for Strong Leadership, gives McConnell 61 percent support to Bevin's 23 percent support. That's an increase in support from an early-February independent survey of the race, which showed McConnell ahead by only 26 points. But it's actually a decrease from the last GOP survey of the race, conducted by Wenzel Strategies at the start of February, which gave him a 42-point lead. |

| #5 Citizens, registered voters, likely voters, or likely Republican voters? Only the last two interest me, and only the last if only the pre-registered as Republicans are allowed to vote in the primary. In Ohio one can register for one of the parties as one signs in to vote, in which case "likely voters" is what counts. |

| #2 Democrats *should* have no chance of winning. In fact McConnell is the most endangered Republican Senator up for reelection this year. |

| #1 In areas where Democrats stand no chance of winning, they flock over to the Republican primary and vote for the Rhinos. That is how Rhinos hold on to power. |
