The latest
SurveyUSA poll on the U.S. Senate race in Kentucky shows
Republican Rand Paul beating Democrat Jack Conway by 15 points, 55
percent to 40 percent. This has put Louisville’s
Courier-Journal in the unenviable position of trying to
make the Conway campaign’s pushback against the poll a
bigger story than the survey the newspaper itself commissioned
(along with a local TV station). Other recent public polls have
shown the race much closer, though with Paul ahead. SurveyUSA is
the highest
rated
polling firm that has done work on the Kentucky race.
