Toss up in the Kentucky Governor's Race FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 23, 2015 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 Toss Up in the Kentucky Governor’s Race Raleigh, N.C. – PPP’s first general election poll of the race for Governor in Kentucky finds a very tight race. In a head-to-head election, 40% of voters choose Republican Matt Bevin over Democrat Jack Conway, who garners 38%. Bevin is viewed favorably 31/28, while Conway is viewed unfavorably 34/31- a plurality of the electorate has no opinion about each candidate. “The race for Governor in Kentucky is pretty up for grabs,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Voters aren’t that familiar with either candidate and as a result we’re seeing a lot more undecideds than we usually would at this stage of the race. This is one where the campaigns really will go a long way toward determining who wins rather than it being preordained from the start.” Republicans have leads of varying sizes in the down ballot races. In the race for Attorney General, Republican Whitney Westerfield leads Democrat Andy Beshear 41/36. Republican Steve Knipper has a 5-point advantage (47/42) over incumbent Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in the race for Secretary of State. Incumbent Democrat Adam Edelen trails Republican challenger Mike Harmon by 6 points (33/39). GOP candidates lead for Treasurer and Agriculture Commissioner as well. Kentucky Senator and US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell continues to experience negative approval ratings (32/54). Kentuckians still approve of US Senator and Presidential hopeful Rand Paul’s job performance 43/42. In theoretical races against Steve Beshear and Crit Luallen for one of Kentucky’s US Senate seats, Paul leads 49/39 and 51/37 respectively. “Rand Paul will be a clear favorite for reelection if the Senate ends up being what he runs for next year,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Even though Steve Beshear is the most popular politician in the state, that doesn’t translate to a Democrat winning a federal election in Kentucky.” Public Policy Polling surveyed 1,108 registered voters from June 18th-21st. The margin of error for this survey was +/-2.9%. 80% of participants responded via the phone, while 20% of respondents who do not have landlines completed the survey over the Internet.

  • 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.

The Bowling Green Daily News broke the story that lack of oversight, changed contracts and misuse of funds forced officials to seek new bonds and a new sub developer to cover a shortfall of more than $4.5 million to complete at mixed-use wrap around the downtown parking garage. The Daily News filed countless open-record requests, hired attorneys to interpret convoluted contracts, poured over thousands of pages of documents to uncover misuse of funds, fraud, and a glaring lack of transparency that might in the end leave taxpayers holding the bag. Breaking the story and then editorializing about the lack of transparency and misuse of funds, ultimately got the Kentucky State Auditor Andy Beshear involved in the form of an audit.
