Gov. Brownback has done a good job trying to install conservative principles in the state government. He faced a lot of institutional pushback and everything that didn't work exactly to perfection is magnified by a hostile media. At times, he has been a bit heavy-handed and tone-deaf so the likeability factor is not as strong as it could be.

Yesterday morning, the most recent polling showed Brownback down one point to Davis. Not a great position for an incumbent to be in at this stage of the campaign but hardly a lost cause. I'm cautiously optimist that both Brownback and Roberts will rally in the last month of the campaign - I don't think the situations are quite as bleak as the MSM wants to portray.

I missed that poll. Where did you see it?

Like you, I think both Brownback and Roberts will pull it out. Personally, I want to publically thank Gov. Brownback for cutting my state taxes at a time when I was struggling greatly with finances.

Not the most recent. A SurveyUSA poll that came out after that had Davis up by 5. Link

I figure you have to go with the trend. And the trend has been a pretty consistent 4 or 5 points down for Brownback. That may change over the coming weeks as we get closer to election day; we'll have to see.

The NBC Marist Poll did have it at one point difference. Davis 44 and Brownback 43

The same Marist Poll that found Roberts down ten points.

That is what I was trying to say only you said it better
