VIDEO: McConnell, Grimes lead in separate polls

Two recent polls released in Kentucky show the Senate race between incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes tightening in the final month.

On Monday, a Bluegrass poll showed Grimes with a two-point advantage over McConnell, 46 to 44 percent. Those numbers are within the poll’s margin of error, however they represent a positive swing for Democrats in recent weeks.

Over the weekend, a New York Times/CBS/Yougov poll showed McConnell holding a six-point lead over Grimes, 47 to 41 percent.

The race in Kentucky could determine control of the Senate as Republicans look to gain six seats to control the upper chamber.
