Public Policy Polling's first poll on the Republican primary race for Senate in Kentucky shows Rand Paul leading Secretary of State Trey Grayson 44 percent to 25 percent. Paul leads Grayson 54 percent to 22 percent among voters who are unhappy with congressional Republicans and 54 percent to 18 percent among those who think the GOP has gotten too liberal. But he also leads 40 percent to 25 percent among those who are happy with the congressional Republicans' performance in office and 38 percent to 28 percent among those who are "comfortable with where their party is ideologically." One caveat is that neither candidate is that well known, so the race could become very fluid as they try to define each other. Here are the full results (pdf).
UPDATE: The same polling outfit finds both Paul and Grayson leading the two main declared Democratic candidates in the general election.

A coincidence that he shot up in the polls a mere two weeks after he announced his move to the Pro-Defense side of the libertarian movement, with his opposition to moving Gitmo to the mainland US?
Rand Paul's move away from his father's far-out extremist views on foreign policy has resulted in a major uptick for him in the polls.
More evidence that the winning formula is:
Fiscal Conservatism, Social Liberties, and Strong on Defense. Bascially - Golwater/Palinism definitly NOT Ron Paulism.

Palinism? Buddy, you are on out of whack neocon tool. Palin is nothing but a welfare hogging lefty. Alaska is permanently on US welfare like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Red Phillips| 12.24.09 @ 10:09PM
Palin did have some libertarian and paleoish tendencies until she was ruined by the McCain campaign.
Dru| 12.25.09 @ 10:44PM
Her avarice for federal welfare dollars do not qualify as either libertarian or conservative.

"he announced his move to the Pro-Defense side of the libertarian movement"
Eric, you're ability to delude yourself with wishful thinking knows no bounds.
Dru| 12.23.09 @ 10:37PM
Give it some credit. At least, it didn't say "pro-invade everything side of the toolbag movement."
