Republican Guthrie Back on Top in GOP Fight to Hold the Open Seat in KY2: In an election for US House of Representatives in Kentucky's 2nd Congressional District today, 09/26/08, to fill the seat of retiring incumbent Republican Ron Lewis, Republican Brett Guthrie edges Democrat David Boswell 49% to 43%, according to this exclusive WHAS-TV new poll conducted by SurveyUSA. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released three months ago, Guthrie is up 5 points; Boswell is down 4; a 9-point shift to the Republican.
Among men, Boswell and Guthrie had been tied; today, Guthrie leads by 12. Among women, Boswell had led by 6, now trails by 2. Among voters age 18 to 49, Boswell had led by 3, now trails by 16. 21% of Democrats cross over to vote for Republican Guthrie; 8% of Republicans cross over to vote for Democrat Boswell.
Incumbent Lewis, first elected to the House in 1994, is not seeking an eighth term. Kentucky's 2nd Congressional District, rated "Solid R" by the Cook Political Report, has a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+13. Lewis won with 55% of the vote in 2006 and with 68% of the vote in 2004. Before Lewis, Democrat William Natcher held the seat for 40 years.
Editor's comment: I guess the DNNC's ad for David Boswell backfired BIG time.
