Yeah dumping Lugar for ObamaJoe apparently wasn’t a strong enough signal, LOL

"...apparently wasn’t a strong enough signal, LOL"

Apparently NOT.

[trustnooneever]

its a dem poll...so wait and see if its backed up...unless you have reasons for believing it

The poll did not ask Republicans who they preferred in the primary contest between
the two men, but previous surveys have shown McConnell winning handily.

The poll did ask this question:

Q3 If the Republican candidates for Senate in
2014 were Mitch McConnell and Matt Bevin,
who would you vote for?

Mitch McConnell ........................................... 53%
Matt Bevin....................................................... 26%
Not sure .......................................................... 21%

I’m not quite at the point of preferring that McConnell’s Democrat rival win, but I sure hope this useless hack gets primaried.

I am. I remember when Jerry Brown was running for gov of California and a resident there was telling me he was going to vote for Brown because "Schwarzenegger really f----d up this state". See, RINOs get elected claiming to be conservative, then they govern as big liberals and people come to the conclusion that conservatism is the problem. If McConnell is going to continue to support democrat positions on everything, let a real democrat do it instead and let them at least take the blame.

I'm done voting for and supporting RINOs. Period.

The RepubliCONS.

His ass will be. It’s up to the primary voters as to if it’s a pub or rat that replaces him.

A 61% disapproval rating? Horrible for an incumbent. We're talking 1980 Jimmy Carter numbers here. His a** just might be gone when the new Senate Convenes in January 2015.

If you aren't above 50% conventional wisdom is your in trouble and he is 61% negative, which means 39% approve ( with some unsure etc ).

That ain't good, me thinks he is toast, politically....

I appreciate everyone’s efforts and goodwill towards getting Senator Mitch McConJob out of office. To answer some questions/concerns I have read on this thread: thus far, McConnell has two primary opponents (one good, Matt Bevin, and one perennial, Gurley Martin). There are also two Democrats running (the front runner, Secretary of State Alison Lundergan-Grimes, and a lesser known, professor Greg Leichty). And there is an independent candidate (Ed Marksberry) and a Libertarian (David Patterson) running.
