Kansas may have a Senate race after all.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Kansas Voters finds incumbent Republican Senator Pat Roberts with just a four-point lead – 44% to 40% - over Democratic challenger Chad Taylor. Seven percent (7%) like some other candidate in the race, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 750 Likely Voters in Kansas was conducted on August 6-7, 2014 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

But if you live in Kansas voting for an independent would be pretty risky. The Dems are evil but they are not dumb. That’s why they do whatever they can to split the GOP vote. If you see Ormandy climbing in the polls you may wake to a Dem Senator from Kansas come November.

I live next door but get a lot of Kansas news on the local stations. I think Orman is running 'a pox on both your houses' campaign and could very well wind up taking as many Democrats as Republicans. Especially in Johnson County.

I don’t know about the Independent, Greg Orman, but with 40% in the polling, somebody sure as hell is voting for the Democrat, Chad Taylor. I think that a lot of that 40% are Wolf supporters and Wolf supporters probably make up all of the 8% Undecided Voters.

It does not make sense to put in a Dem who would last a whole term and maybe even win again.

“Come on; this is Kansas. They will never elect a Dem.’

They elected one in ‘38 and are just about due to elect one if we screw up. The poll show that they just might this year. Probably not but just maybe.
