Latest Bluegrass Poll Shows McConnell With Five Point Lead Over Grimes

Lisa Autry

The final Bluegrass Poll before Tuesday’s election day shows Senator Mitch McConnell with a five point lead over Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes.

The poll shows 48% of likely voters plan to vote for McConnell, while 43% say they'll support  Grimes. Three percent said they'll vote for Libertarian candidate David Patterson.

Six percent are still undecided.

The poll’s results are still within the margin of error of 4.1 percentage points. The McConnell campaign said the poll numbers show the campaign is peaking.

The last poll showed Grimes two percentage points ahead of McConnell and the Grimes campaign says its own internal polling shows the race as a dead heat.

The Louisville Courier-Journal quotes Jennifer Duffy, senior editor at the non-partisan Cook Political report, as saying the Bluegrass Poll results are in line with other polling she’s seen in recent days.
