Harper reveals that Northup is leading in latest poll.
Republican gubernatorial candidate, Billy Harper, has released the results of internal pollings showing that Anne Northup has ERASED a deficit in her poll numbers and has overtaken Fletcher to take the lead in the race. You can read the Paducah Sun's Bill Bartlesman's column (NOTE: Subscription ONLY).
In the column, Harper said voters are getting tired of seeing Fletcher traveling around the state handing out cardboard checks for state-funded projects.
"I think people see right through that" Harper said.
Billy Harper has NO reason to release a poll showing his opponent leading, so there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to believe that his poll is other than true. However, because I am NOT privy to other poll facts -- like sample, margin of error or methodology -- I cannot vouch for its accuracy, though the fact that Harper is relying on it for his own campaign gives the poll credibility.
Meanwhile, the SURVEYUSA polls will be out on Tuesday and we'll see what the results are.
Also, I received one of those automated calls and email about Fletcher's "Kentucky wins" tour, though this time no checks are expected to be handed out. Here are stops on the trail:
Daviess County Rally, 9:30 a.m. CST, Owensboro City Hall
Ohio County Rally, 12:00 p.m. CST, Ohio County Community Center – Auditorium
Grayson County Rally, 1:30 p.m. CST, Leitchfield City Park – Pavilion
Butler County Rally, 3:15 p.m. CST, Rose Family Building
Warren County Rally, 4:45 p.m. CST, Holiday Inn – University Plaza
Any thoughts?

No he did not release any results he just stated that Northup was ahead in his poll. He did not cite who did the poll, it might have been done over a couple of beers at the country club for all we know.
That is EXTREMELY doubtful, though you deserve credit for your humor!
The poll is legit.
