SurveyUSA Poll Comes Bearing GOOD News For Senator Mitch McConnell, Senator Jim Bunning -- And Governor Steve Beshear.
Here's the report from Mark Hebert:
A new Survey USA/WHAS 11 News poll shows Sen. Mitch McConnell's job approval rating jumped a whopping 11 points this month. Fifty seven percent (57%) of the Kentuckians who were surveyed approve of the job McConnell is doing while 37% disapprove.
The same poll found a 10% jump in Sen. Jim Bunning's job approval rating. Bunning is now at 49% approval, 40% disapproval. That's Bunning highest job approval rating since October 2005.
But back on McConnell. These numbers have to be extremely good news for the Senate Minority Leader, who saw one pollster (Rasmussen) release numbers earlier this week showing McConnell trailing Bruce Lunsford in this year's senate race. Survey USA has not done any polling yet on the McConnell-Lunsford race but a Lexington Herald-Leader poll showed McConnell with a 12 point lead over Lunsford.
The breakdown on McConnell's Survey USA job approval numbers shows his biggest support coming from eastern Kentucky (62%-32%) and among men (65%-33%). McConnell is even polling fairly well among democrats (45%-50%) and African-Americans (57%-40%).
For Governor Steve Beshear, Mark Hebert files this report:
Governor Steve Beshear's job approval rating improved 6 points this month, according to a new Survey USA/WHAS 11 News poll. According to the poll, 44% of Kentuckians approve of the job Beshear is doing while 50% disapprove. Beshear's numbers in April were dismal (38%-54%).
The survey shows a majority of men approve of Beshear's work (50%-46%) while a majority of women do not (39%-53%). And Beshear is still suffering the pain of that state senate seat campaign and loss in eastern Kentucky. Only 32% of eastern Kentuckians approve of the job Beshear is doing, dragging down his overall number. The Louisville area (50%-45%) and western Kentucky (49%-44%) provided the bump in Beshear's numbers. In a bit of surprise to me, African American voters don't like the job Beshear is doing by a 14 point margin (40%-54%).
