Here's the link to the previous SurveyUSA poll for Kentucky.

Probably one more poll will be done before the May 20 primary.

Looks like Ernie Fletcher's got it nailed down. Jody Richards will be hitting the airwaves with some advertising soon, and if he takes support from Chandler that race could close up in a hurry.

Or maybe not.

What's your opinion on a Chandler/Fletcher race? My guess is that it would be a nailbitter, like the Patton/Forgy race in 1995.

[republicanwizard]

Let's hope so. We need to damage Chandler. As far as I'm concerned, it may be time for us to boost Richards or Lunsford.

[republicanwizard]

I'm really not sure. It depends. If voters want change, then Fletcher wins.

[JohnnyZ]

I think the race will depend in part if Nunn & Heleringer keep sniping at Fletcher after the primary. That could create some bad karma (do they allow karma in Kentucky?) in a close race, which it really should be.

This is a state where a visit from Dubya -- just one, not overdoing it -- might very well help. The state is clearly in tune with national Republicans, and I think they're ready to go that way at the state level too, so I'll say Fletcher pulls it out 54-46.

I sure would at least like to see what polling looks like at this point in a head-to-head matchup of Fletcher vs. Chandler.

[JohnnyZ]

I know, right? How hard would it have been for SurveyUSA to have said, hey, while we're at it, who would you vote for between Fletch and Benji?
