McConnell isn't safe by a long shot. He very well could lose the general election.
Meant in the primary.
Still think McConnell is safe in the general election as well. People were writing him out in 2008 against Lunsford, saying it was going to be close, but McConnell won by a comfortable six-point margin, despite 2008 having been a big democratic year with Obama. If he won just fine then, can't imagine how he will be in danger in what should be a GOP year. The polls now are simply too early, and some even still have McConnell ahead, get back to me in late September with what they're showing.
