  • Mitch Mcconnell Looks Poised to Win a Senate Race in Kentucky Which May Be the Most Expensive in U.S
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2014/10/14/mitch-mcconnell-looks-poised-to-win-a-senate-race-in-kentucky-which-may-be-the- most-expensive-in-u-s-history/ Mitch McConnell looks poised to win a Senate race in Kentucky which may be the most expensive in U.S. history. Kentucky’s Senate race has so far been a hard fought one, with Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes hoping to unseat the current Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell. Despite McConnell’s relative low popularity ratings, Anne Cizmar argues that Grimes faces an uphill battle, having already had to distance herself from President Obama. She writes that barring a shake up to the campaign, McConnell looks on course to win a race which may see more than $100 million spent between the two candidates. Unseating a U.S. Senator is a steep uphill battle. Since the Carter-Reagan election of 1980, a full 75 percent of Senate incumbents have survived their six-yearly appearance on the ballot, with 91 percent winning reelection in 2012. The incumbent’s popularity isn’t always an indicator of trouble—good news for Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell who seems likely to win his hard-fought battle with Alison Lundergan Grimes despite his Obama-low job approval ratings. McConnell, a Republican and 30-year incumbent, is the current Senate Minority Leader. He’s not well liked in Kentucky polling at around 34 percent job approval in the state. But the state is increasingly Republican; 5 out of 6 House of Representatives members from Kentucky are now from the GOP, and Kentucky has voted for the Republican presidential candidate in every election since 1996.

Gilbert& Emily Reeder' INTRODUCTION More than a year before the 2016 election, presidential candidates, parties, and outside groups had amassed hundreds of millions of dollars for the campaign.2 For this, the Supreme Court deserves, depending on one's perspective, credit or blame. In the last decade, the Court has methodically unwound campaign finance regulations at federal and state levels,3 opening the door for more money in politics. More money means more political speech and debate, which many people value and which the First Amendment protects.4 But it also means more corruption or at least a risk thereof'5 The Supreme Court "draws the constitutional line between the permissible goal of avoiding corruption in the political process and the impermissible desire simply to limit political speech." 6 The Roberts Court's decisions have moved the line in a deregulatory direction.

  • 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.

  • PPP Poll Has Republican Incumbent Senator Mitch Mcconnell Leading Democratic Challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 12, 2014 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 McConnell Leading in Re-Election Bid Raleigh, N.C. – The latest PPP poll has Republican incumbent Senator Mitch McConnell leading Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes. McConnell leads Grimes and Libertarian David Patterson by a margin of 44/40/7 with 9% undecided. Both major party candidates in this race face negative ratings; McConnell’s approval rating is only 37% while 54% disapprove of his job performance. Grimes faces a net four point negative rating at 45% disapproval and 41% approval. Among Democrats, 22% approve of his job performance and 23% say that they would vote for McConnell. The bright spot for Grimes in addition to the fact that the race is so close is that she leads among women in the state. Grimes has a net favorable rating among women at 44/40 and leads among women by one point 42/41. In addition, 11% of women remain undecided, representing a path forward for Grimes to overtake McConnell. “Mitch McConnell’s starting to see Republican voters unify around him a little bit more,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “That’s allowed him to regain a small lead although the race remains very competitive overall.” In the 2015 race for Governor Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway leads each of his likely Republican challengers; Cathy Bailey, Matt Bevin, James Comer and Hal Heiner. Conway leads Bevin and Comer each by three points; 39/36 and 38/35 respectively.
