SUSA: Beshear 59%, Fletcher 36%
Matt Gunterman July 17th, 2007
The Herald-Leader’s PolWatcher blog is reporting that the latest Survey USA tracking poll of the Kentucky gubernatorial race is still showing progressive Democrat Steve Beshear with a wide lead over indicted Republican Ernie Fletcher.
And, when it’s all said and done in four month’s time, expect a similarly large margin of victory for Steve Beshear.
Survey USA poll shows Beshear 59, Fletcher 36
Democratic gubernatorial challenger Steve Beshear leads Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher by 23 points, according to a Survey USA poll released by WHAS Channel 11 in Louisville today.
While Beshear’s lead remains above the 20-point threshold, it has slipped slightly since Survey USA’s May 25 poll — the first of the general election. That poll showed Beshear with 62 percent of voters’ support compared to Fletcher’s 34 percent.

HAHAHAHAHAH!
I literally laughed my ass off at seeing this. There’s that “gambling” and “special session” bounce that Fletcher and all his f’ing Republican loons were hoping for.
Isac, Old boy,
I would not be too jubilant. This campaign is going to be decided, IMO, by single digits. Beshear has a lot of negative ground to cover and the battle will be bloody.
I am for Beshear and Dr. Dan also, but I am concerned about some of the planks in the Beshear platform.

I am for them too, but I don’t think the race is that far apart. This is great for Beshear’s fundraising but supporters should not be taking the race for granted. We all need to work harder!
