While a Rasmussen Reports poll had Republican senate nominee Rand Paul jumping out to a 25 point lead after his May 18 primary victory, a Daily Kos/Research 2000 survey conducted May 24-26 is far less exuberant with Paul holding a 44 percent to 41 percent lead over Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway. Fifteen percent are undecided and the margin of error is 4 points.
Paul gets 86 percent support from fellow Republicans while Conway gets 75 percent for Democrats. Paul leads among independents by a 42 percent to 31 percent margin with 27 percent undecided.
Both candidates are viewed favorably by voters, though Paul somewhat more so. Fifty-three percent have a positive view of Paul while 33 percent do not, with 14 percent undecided. Conway is seen favorably by 48 percent and unfavorably by 43 percent with 9 percent undecided.
