Poll: Senate GOP Leader McConnell Trailing Democratic Opponent
By Eric Kleefeld – May 27, 2008, 8:49AMThe Senate Republicans are expected to have a rough time of it this year, but even this is big news: A new Rasmussen poll puts Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) behind his Democratic challenger, businessman Bruce Lunsford:
Lunsford (D) 49%
McConnell (R) 44%Sample size: 500 likely voters.
Margin of error: ±4.5%Party leaders are often considered safe bets for re-election, but McConnell’s ties to President Bush obviously haven’t helped his own prospects even in this red state. And with the DSCC out-raising their GOP counterparts, expect the Dems to make a play for this seat and others all over the map.
It is my understanding that Senator McConnell is the leading opponent of campaign and election reform and the leading champion of special interests and equating money with speech. I believe the world would be a more cooperative place without him in power.
