Bunning in big trouble
Raleigh, N.C. – Jim Bunning’s approval rating is just 28%, he trails the four most likely Democratic candidates in hypothetical contests, and fellow Republican Trey Grayson looks like a much more formidable possible candidate, the newest survey from Public Policy Polling finds.
54% of voters in the state disapprove of Bunning’s performance, and even among
Republicans just 42% think he’s doing a good job. Grayson, the Secretary of State
mentioned most as the possible GOP candidate were the incumbent to step aside, is
viewed positively by 46% of voters with just 19% holding an unfavorable opinion and
35% not sure.
Congressman Ben Chandler leads Bunning by 14 points, Attorney General Jack Conway
is up 9, Auditor Crit Luallen has the 8 point edge, and Lieutenant Governor Dan
Mongiardo’s advantage is 7.
Grayson is more competitive, trailing Chandler by 6 and Conway by 4 but leading
Luallen by 2 and Mongiardo by 4.
“If there was ever any doubt Republicans would be better off with Jim Bunning retiring these numbers can put that to rest,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “It looks like he would lose to any of the Democrats being mentioned as possible candidates. Trey Grayson may want to rethink his decision not to run unless Bunning retires.”
PPP also tested State Senate President David Williams as a possible Bunning alternative but his numbers are almost as poor as the incumbent’s.
PPP surveyed 610 Kentucky voters on April 2nd and 3rd. The survey’s margin of error is +/-4.0%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.
