Grimes leads Mitch McConnell in first Bluegrass Poll (46-42%)

Nine months before Kentucky's 2014 U.S. Senate election, Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes leads five-term incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) 46% to 42% in a WHAS11/Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll.

McConnell enjoys a comfortable 26 point margin in the Republican primary contest against Matt Bevin in the poll conducted by Survey USA and commissioned by a partnership of WHAS11, The Courier-Journal, WKYT-TV in Lexington and the Lexington Herald-Leader. "This is not going to be a coast for Mitch McConnell," said pollster Jay Leve of Survey USA. "It's going to be a dogfight. Every vote is going to matter. This election is going to have national consequences. We're going to see a lot of money from outside interests flow into Kentucky."
