From Rasmussen:
Ophthalmologist Rand Paul leads Democratic Lieutenant Governor Daniel Mongiardo 51% to 34%. Last month he led Mongiardo 48% to 37%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and 12% are undecided.
Paul, son of Texas Congressman Ron Paul, now posts a 49% to 34% lead over state Attorney General Jack Conway. In the previous survey, he had a 47% to 39% lead over Conway. Four percent (4%) like another candidate, and 13% more are undecided.
Trey Grayson, Kentucky’s secretary of state, is locked in a tight GOP Primary battle with Paul and registers similar numbers against the two Democrats. Grayson leads Mongiardo 46%to 33%. Five percent (5%) opt for some other candidate, while 16% are undecided. In February, Grayson had a 49% to 35% lead in this match-up.
With Conway as his opponent, Grayson earns 49% of the vote to his opponent’s 31%. Last month, he was ahead by a much narrow 44% to 40%.
Why are the Republican leads growing so? The survey found 61 percent of the likely voters polled oppose the Democrats’ health care plan. Only 34 percent support it.
