Excellent news from Louisville!
That other poll cited showing 49-43 is probably more accurate, as internal polls tend to understate the support of the opponent - still, at this stage with Lally having low name recognition vs. a two term incumbent, that is still a very good sign...but Lally will need fundraising success as Yarmuth will certainly start running ads heavily by August.
Thanks for the ping.
Yarmuth reminds me a little of Gresham Barrett. May he suffer the same fate.
After 18 months of this socialist pacifist Admin. dissing the South : its guns,religion, and industry, and with the Gulf oil spill disaster perped by the Obamabot’s ineptness and inefficiency in dealing with a real crisis, it is surprising that anyone down South who is a business person, a vet, a fisherman, a boater, would ever vote for any Dem ever again.
Wasn’t it the Kos Kids who claimed that Yarmuth’s district was their firewall, because it was a district the GOP “had to win” to take over the House (which is not true) and because Yarmuth was safw (not true either)?
This district leans a bit Democrat (it held President Bush to around 48% in 2000 and 2004), since it’s like 20% black and Louisville has both affluent white liberals and working-class white Democrats. But if turnout is light among blacks, and working-class whites continue to turn against the Democrats, Yarmuth is going down.
