WIBW) - A new poll shows tough battles shaping up for incumbents on the November ballot in Kansas.

SurveyUSA conducted the poll for KSN Television in Wichita.

In the governor's race, Republican incumbent Sam Brownback continues to trail Democrat Paul Davis. The margin of 48 percent to 40 percent is the same as that found in a Survey USA poll done before the August primary...

In the U.S. Senate race, Survey USA says Independent candidate Greg Orman continues to cause a wrinkle for both three-term Republican incumbent Pat Roberts and Democrat Chad Taylor.

The poll found Roberts with 37 percent, Taylor at 32 percent and Orman taking 20 percent of the vote.

It's a six-point jump for Orman since the last SurveyUSA poll taken before the August primary

Oh great, just what Kansas needs--another Governor Sebelius. Looks like we may send one to the U.S. Senate too! Who is the Independent? Is he the Rats attempt to spoil the Senate race?

Rats are masters at getting 3rd party clowns to throw them elections.

the “independent” Orman is a complete fraud. He tried to run previously as an Democrat, then dropped out due to scandal issues.
Not sure why he does not think they will pop up again.
Orman has given lots of money to Democrat Party organizations and to Obama.

No expert on Kansas state politics but an eight point lead for a Democrat in a relatively conservative state? Is this accurate?

That’s what I figured. So who are these clueless people who are supporting him?

Glad I moved. Looks like the race is another turd bucket. You have a moderate republican, democrat and an independent democrat.

This can't be said often enough.

A "rat" can't change its spots.

It happens alot in Kansas. Liberals and moderates have been ripping Brownbacks tax policy among other things.

I hope not, but Survey USA has a pretty good rep. Brownback has been crucified in the Kansas media since the day he took office.

“...an eight point lead for a Democrat in a relatively conservative state? Is this accurate?”

My thought too. If true, what’s going on in Kansas?

Surely you jest. Kansas is no where near “Conservative”. Kansas is Moderate at best. Kansas is RINO country. Hell, they don’t even give a crap that their long-times Senator doesn’t even live in their State. Let them elect Greg Orman; they deserve what they get.

Thanks for the info. In other words liberals and the GOPe are combining forces in Kansas to get rid of Brownback. OK, got it. Makes sense.

Orman will take more votes from the Democrat. He’s a leftist.

“Some GOP moderates — including former legislators defeated by Brownback-style conservatives — have endorsed Davis, an attorney, 11-year legislator, and the Democratic leader of the Kansas House of Representatives.”

Back-stabbing RINOs!

You got a point. I forgot they had Bob Dole and Nancy Landon Kassebaum as their US senators for quite a long time, and both of them were the epitome of the RINO establishment especially Bob Dole.

Yes. That’s exactly what he wants. He posts this crap every day. If he had his way, we would have 5 senators and 30 representatives.

and we would be living in the USSA.

That’s exactly what is happening. See post #15. Bitter RINOs who were defeated by conservatives in 2012 are endorsing the Rat.

I wish they’d get some actual candidates to run instead of constantly throwing grey water at us.

So, if someone moved to the KC area, would it be better to live on the Missouri side, or is it just as bad?
