Rand Paul, son of Texas Rep. Ron Paul and a favorite of the Tea Party movement, has built a big lead over Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the race for the GOP Senate nomination in Kentucky, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted April 9-11.
The race has been depicted as a test of the movement's influence, pitting a candidate trying to capitalize on the voter anger it reflects against an establishment Republican who has won re-election to his position three times. Grayson has fought back with TV ads honing in on Paul's "strange ideas," such as saying "Paul even wonders whether 9/11 was our fault."
Paul is ahead of Grayson by 45 percent to 30 percent with 6 percent for three other candidates and 19 percent undecided.
Conservatives favor Paul by 51 percent to 29 percent with 16 percent undecided. Those who attend religious services regularly or occasionally favor Paul by double-digit margins. Gun owners back Paul 48 percent to 22 percent with 22 percent undecided. There is an income gap between Paul and Grayson supporters: Paul leads among Kentuckians earning less than $50,000 a year by 49 percent to 22 percent with 21 percent undecided, but his margin is much smaller (42 percent to 38 percent) among those earning over $50,000.

Right, movement since the Revolutionary War. That movement.
Oh, they are not. That is simply ridiculous, and the hard-core Paul people here should probably repeatedly smack the abuse button over your comment.
At least this guy has economic Libertarianism going for him. Much better than either of these two...
Please, in the meantime, where are those that are both political Constitutional Christian conservatives and economic Libertarians? They’re hiding somewhere.
Folks pointing out common cause between the Pauls and white supremacists amuses you?
If it does, you're an idiot.
Liquor or drugs?
Right. I want the movement of the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary War, and the United States Constitution. That movement.
It’s simply another form of playing the race card. They’ve been resorting to that lately.
Amazing how much like liberals they act sometimes.
Smack away. The more attention brought to the situation, the better. Paultards are poison to this forum, the Republican party and the country.
Did you catch Paul’s doper brownshirts booing Israel during Pence’s speech on Saturday? You okay with that?
"Conservatives favor Paul by 51 percent to 29 percent with 16 percent undecided. Those who attend religious services regularly or occasionally favor Paul by double-digit margins. Gun owners back Paul 48 percent to 22 percent with 22 percent undecided."
Rand Paul leads by double digits among men and women, among conservatives, pro-life voters, gun owners.
"Grayson leads today only among the 1 in 5 Republican primary voters who say they are pro-choice.
I am with you on this one!
The nerve! Imagine putting USA ahead of Israel!
Must be smacked down!
Standing with them is putting them ahead of us, huh? Stellar reasoning you’ve got there.
Any other allies whose name moves you to start booing uncontrollably? Or is it just the Jews?
Do you think that you can let people get back to the Kentucky Senate race rather than this raving that you are doing?
That almost begins to cover how I feel about the Paultards. Almost.
Sorry, didn't catch that. Even if so, I think it's quite a stretch to go from that to saying that the RonPaulians on FR are "Stormfront members." Be reasonable, would you?
Those folks must know something about Greyson then.
Here's hoping that Rand Paul takes it in May. Wish there was someone a little more authentically conservative and less nutso on foreign policy, but he will just be one of a hundred, and at least he's unlikely to vote FOR any sovereignty-destroying treaties.
Trey Greyson is seeming more and more like just another RINO establishment politico of the type who needs to be purged from the GOP.
