Republican Governor Sam Brownback is in a 10-point hole in his bid for reelection in Kansas.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Kansas Voters finds Democratic challenger Paul Davis with 51% support to Brownback’s 41%. Three percent (3%) like some other candidate, while five percent (5%) are undecided.(To see survey question wording, click here.)

Kansas is full of squishy moderate RINOS who will gladly back Dems over conservatives any day of the week. That’s how they elected Sebelius. Also, the economy stinks.
PURISTS will not vote for Brownback....idiocy....they would rather see a DEMOCRAT in.
What’s “impure” about Brownback?
NOTHING.....I’m all for him, but he might have done one thing that conservatives didn’t agree with, and then they stay home and the Dems get in.
Why would anyone in the right mind vote for a Demonic Party candidate? Unbelievable...
Amazing how a deep Red State will elect a Democrat!
People get tired of the Good ,and then they think Evil will be better
Sebelius was a two termer there.
Not so sure how “red” it is....
What exactly has Brownback done to anger Conservatives?
Here in MA, we will occasionally elect a republican. Only problem though, under the skin they are 'Rat.
That’s why I’m not so sure that the Republicans will take the Senate.
I believe he is soft on amnesty.
But he has quietly gone about and changed a lot of things, just like Scott Walker....just without all the national press.
He ended guaranteed tenure for teachers, cleaned house with a lot of politically active members of the supposedly neutral state government, ended the use of Davis Bacon wage rates on state projects, signed a bill requiring some people on the dole to get drug screened, signed a bill outlawing automatic payroll withholding for union dues for state employees, lots of pre-emptive legislation to protect gun rights, etc etc. All in all he’s done well.
Hard to believe a Red state would tolerate someone like that.
Lawrence and Manhattan.
How conservative is Shaunna O’Connell? Any chance to runs for higher office?
He’s mishandled the economy.
The guy is as slimy as a bag of night crawlers in a bag of hand lotion.
He voted pro-amnesty, saw it was going the other way, so he switched his vote towards the end.
He’s always given strong praises for abortion lover Sebelius.
Nah Lawrence and Kansas City. Manhattan area isnt nearly as liberal as those two even with the university, its offset by the military.
He did some moderate flailing about when he was running for president, but as an acting governor, he has been about straight conservative as we can expect from a politician.
I thing the numbers may have been massaged.
