Poll: Grimes Edging McConnell in Kentucky

Voters in the Bluegrass State aren't pleased with the state of affairs in Washington, and they appear to be taking it out on Mitch McConnell.

The Senate minority leader narrowly trails Kentucky's Democratic secretary of state, Alison Lundergan Grimes, in his 2014 re-election bid, according to a new survey conducted by the Democratically affiliated Public Policy Polling for progressive group Americans United for Change.

Lundergan Grimes leads McConnell by a two-point margin (45 percent to 43 percent), which is within the poll’s margin of error (plus or minus 2.8 percent). Twelve percent of respondents remained undecided.

The poll of 1,193 voters was conducted Oct. 14-15.

I was a little concerned, since I don't live there and don't know Kentucky politics very well, that Grimes might be a Tea Party challenger to McConnell.
