Finally, a poll showing a House Democrat incumbent ahead:
Democratic U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler begins the general election season with a 14-point lead over Republican challenger Andy Barr, although 37 percent of those surveyed have yet to form an opinion of Barr, the latest cn|2 Poll shows.The cn|2 Poll of 503 likely voters in the 6th Congressional District showed Chandler receiving support from 46.1 percent, while 32.2 percent said they planned to vote for Barr. Another 20.9 percent were undecided.
Barr has his work cut out for him, but he has an incumbent below 50 percent and Barr’s favorable/unfavorable split is a healthy 41.7/19.2.
Obama’s job approval/disapproval in this district is 46.6/50.3.
Are we serious to believe Obama approval is that good here?
That distict supports ObamaCare, Stimulus, and Cap and Trade??
Seems fishy poll when u look at details to me
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAs a resident of the 6th in Kentucky, I can tell you that ObamaCare, Cap & Trade, and the Stimulus are very unpopular here. Chandler got a lot of flack over his vote on Cap & Trade. He has refused to hold any townhall meetings citing safety considerations.
I think that by the first of October, things will tighten up. Once all the different Tea Party groups in the 6th get behind him and start organizing events, Barr will show a lot of strength.
