New Poll Shows Majority Of Kentucky Voters Side With Alison Lundergan Grimes On Taxes

A new poll on Kentuckians' attitudes towards taxation may bear some worrying trends for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in the country's marquee Senate race.

The Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund released the results of a new poll Thursday showing that a majority of Kentucky voters support making the federal tax system fairer to middle-class families by requiring wealthy individuals and corporations to pay a "fairer" share of taxes.

The poll, conducted by the liberal-leaning Public Policy Polling, also found that Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Democratic nominee, leads McConnell by 48 percent to 46 percent, with just 6 percent of voters undecided.

PPP's poll shows that 80 percent of voters said they're more likely to vote for "a candidate who wants to close loopholes to make sure millionaires do not pay a lower tax rate than the middle class," while 76 percent of voters would be more likely to vote for "a candidate who wants to make sure that the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes."
