The map shows Kansas as purple—the combined totals for Democrats and Republicans add up to 99, so they seem to regard that one as too close to call.

Purple stands for Independent -- they're calling it for Orman.

The Senate Race In Kansas Just Got Crazy

Kansas

The Kansas Senate race is complicated. Democrat Chad Taylor withdrew from the race Sept. 3, yet his name may still appear on the November ballot. When he’s included as a candidate, the poll finds he receives 11 percent, while incumbent Republican Pat Roberts garners 40 percent and independent Greg Orman comes in at 38 percent. Another two percent would vote for Libertarian Randall Batson.

Click here for the Kansas poll results.

The Kansas State Supreme Court heard the case of whether Taylor’s name can be taken off the ballot Tuesday.The court’s decision is expected soon so ballots can be printed.

Among Democrats, 61 percent back independent Orman and 28 percent would still vote for Taylor. Seven in 10 Republicans support Roberts, while nearly one in five back Orman (18 percent). Over half of independents prefer Orman (56 percent), while 18 percent back Roberts and 11 percent Taylor.

Taking Democrat Taylor out of the race gives the independent the edge. If the race were between only Orman and Roberts, voters pick the independent over the three-term GOP incumbent by 48-42 percent.

The 78-year-old Roberts has served in the Senate since 1997. His seat was considered a safe Republican hold in the red state until Taylor dropped out earlier this month.

The changing nature of the race seems to have left the Kansas electorate in flux: three in 10 say they could change their mind (29 percent).About three-quarters of both Roberts’ (74 percent) and Orman’s voters (71 percent) feel certain they will back their candidate.

Obama’s job rating in Kansas is similar to his rating nationally: 40 percent of likely voters approve, while 55 percent disapprove. Most voters who disapprove of Obama back Roberts (64 percent), but nearly one in four supports Orman (23 percent).

When asked if the country is better off than it was before Obama took office, 37 percent say yes, while a 56-percent majority disagrees.

Half of Kansas voters think the new health care law “went too far” (50 percent), while 22 percent feel it should have done more.Twenty percent say “about right.

It'll be a step in the right direction to get Hairy Reid out of power, but the RINOs will still be running the show.

Whole lotta good that's gonna do to stop Obama or reverse his course over the next two years.
