  • Beshear Set to Romp, Helping Dems Down-Ballot
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 30, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Beshear set to romp, helping Dems down-ballot Raleigh, N.C. – Steve Beshear is tied with Tennessee’s Bill Haslam for the fourth most popular governor on which PPP has polled, and he is headed for a re-election romp this fall. Beshear leads Republican David Williams and independent Gatewood Galbraith by a 55-28-10 margin. The last time PPP polled the race was just before last fall’s election, and then, Beshear was up only 44-35 on Williams, with Galbraith not polled. Beshear has a 57-30 approval margin, up from 48-34 last October. The differences over the last ten months are many. For one, Republican turnout seems a little depressed compared to last fall, which is to be expected after a strong showing by conservatives in the midterm. But Beshear is also up from 66% to 78% of Democrats, who make up 55% of the electorate, and from 15% to 19% of the GOP, with Williams down a corresponding amount. Williams has also declined from 16% to 8% with Democrats, and remains with only a quarter of independents. A three-way race for State Treasurer is also helping incumbent Democrat Todd Hollenbach to a strong lead, with 43% to Republican K.C. Crosbie’s 28% and Libertarian Ken Moellman’s 16%. Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway has a decent 47-36 lead in his bid for another term over Republican Todd P’Pool.

Everything else, including individual accomplishments, will fall into place." Many considerBELIEVE Corbin senior Andrew Taylor as the front-runner for Mr. Basketball.THE | FILE PHOTO HYPE Mr. Basketball candidate Andrew Taylor will try to help lead Corbin to Rupp Arena BY JOHN STEPP Staff Writer CORBIN — Andrew Taylor burst onto the scene of high school basketball as an eighth grader for the Corbin Redhounds the night of Dec. 3, 2013 when he drove to the basket and put in a contested lay up for a 75-73 win over the then region’s top ranked team in Jackson County. Ever since that night, Taylor has written a history for himself that has put him among the best to ever wear the Redhound uni- form, and that is quite an accomplishment. Corbin Head Coach Tony Pietrowski had strong feelings toward Taylor. “Andrew has been a special player for our pro- gram. He put his name on the map with a game- winner in his first career game as an eighth grader,” Pietrowski said. “Since that point, his work ethic has become contagious. He leads by example and sets a high standard for the guys around him.” Taylor said that he feels he has continued to improve since that eighth grade season and that the biggest difference is his understanding of the game. “Each year I have added new skills and strengths to rise above the competition. Not only have I grown physically, but mentally and the way I look at things has changed,” said Taylor.
