Republican ophthamologist Rand Paul holds a slight lead in the race for the Kentucky Senate seat of retiring Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky, according to a new poll conducted by Survey USA for WHAS television and the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Paul has a real race on his hands against Attorney General Jack Conway, D. He’s still the favorite, but he’s going to have to avoid any further embarrassing gaffes. Importantly, this poll shows him pulling in nearly 30 percent of the likely Democratic vote.
