This Really Isn’t Great News for Mitch McConnell (Bevin closing the gap)

Superficially, a poll that has McConnell leading Matt Bevin 53% to 31% looks good for Mitch McConnell. In fact, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has tweeted out the link to the poll as good news for Mitch McConnell.

But this past summer there was a 50 point gap in the race. Yeah — FIFTY.

Actually, Bevin was down 52 points last summer. So FIFTY-TWO.

By December, according to PPP, Bevin was down 27 points.

Now he’s down 22 points. Certainly it is a different polling company, etc., but objectively he’s closed a pretty significant gap.

More importantly, conservatives are only just now starting to turn full focus to the primaries. Kentucky may have one before June, but there is still time for conservatives to rally to Matt Bevin.

Do what you can. McConnell’s negatives are already so high, Bevin needs to boost his name ID to win. That’s very possible with your help.

The primary's in May. Long time to go and lots of momentum to build!

Rubio closed a bigger gap on Charlie Crist. This is a big hill to climb, but it can be done.

-—”In fact, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has tweeted out the link to the poll as good news for Mitch McConnell.”-—

Why would they be siding with anyone in a primary?

I know, I know, they always do. Just pointing out the obvious.

Joe Miller, TEA, who beat Lisa Murkowski in AK’s primary senate race in ‘10, lost in the general after Cornyn had Lisa run Independent and fraudulently sweep up all the eskimo votes, is how the NNRSC sides with candidates.

I expect Cornyn to run indy when he loses the R nomination in the May run-off.

Texas has a sore loser statute. You lose the primary, and you can’t run as an independent later.

I did not know that! Maybe that’s why Dewhurst didn’t try it after Cruz beat him?

[skinkinthegrass]

primary, and you can’t run as an independent later.that's a excellent election statue, Cleans up the general...
election ballot and takes out "false flag" disruptor(s)

[Dick Bachert]

Wonder why Meghan Kelly had Mummy McConnell on the show the other night? To give him a boost??
Just askin’.

[txhurl]

Real good question.

[VRWC For Truth]

The turd-le is toast.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

About 50 is not good.

I dont think Rand Paul will help him that much. Rand has pissed off the base with his support of Boehner’s legalization. He pretty much implied that on ABC.

It is not like comparing Cornyn and Cruz popularity in Texas.

[Din Maker]

DO NOT FORGET: McConnell will have to be taken out in the Primary. Most of those people polled are going on name recognition only and they will NOT be voting in the Primary anyhow. Only the die-hards, and old people, vote in the Primary. Ted Cruz was not even a blimp on the radar screen at this point in time in his U.S. Senate campaign against a well entrenched, well funded, well known Lt. Governor. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad.
