Randslide Emminent In Kentucky’s U.S. Senate Race

Sean Hannity declared on primary election night that there was a “Randslide” in Kentucky, as Rand Paul routed his opponent Trey Grayson by double-digits. With 4 different independent polls released this week showing Rand Paul pulling away from Jack Conway, it looks like Hannity should prepare to make the call – Randslide in Kentucky!

A new Rasmussen Reports poll released today shows Rand Paul pulling away with an 12% lead and 53% of the vote!

From Rasmussen:

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state, taken Wednesday night, shows Paul with 53% support to Conway’s 41%. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

In 12 surveys prior to last week, Paul had led by seven to 15 points each time, earning 46% to 59% of the vote. Conway, Kentucky’s current attorney general, picked up 34% to 42% support in those same surveys.
