In fact, the WHAS11/Survey USA poll has Paul ahead of Grayson by three percentage points, with a 4.1 percent margin of error. While Grayson is down five from our last poll 11 weeks ago, Paul has gained nine points since then.
Full Survey Results available here.
Basically the polling has Paul in a dead heat with Grayson. Paul still needs to make sure he runs like an underdog though to win. The establishment is pulling out all the stops, and this is going to be a long battle. In fact, there are rumors that another establishment entrant might be joining the race because Grayson's doing so bad. Is McConnell going to pull a Bunning on Grayson? I guess time will tell.
In other news, I listened to the Senate Conservatives (of which U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) is Chair) conference call tonight, and 79% of conservatives voted to have the Senate Conservative PAC endorse and support Rand Paul over Trey Grayson. No official endorsement was made as a result of this poll. However, there were thousands of people on this conference call, so I think it's quite telling. These are genuine people who are upset about the Republican Party takeover by big government liberals.
Here are the results of the PAC poll.
Greyson: 5%
Rand Paul: 79%
Undecided: 16%
Rand Paul: 79%
Undecided: 16%
Now whether this means Senator DeMint and Co will actually endorse Rand, I don't know. I think it's likely though. DeMint was the 1st Republican to co-Sponsor (1st Co-Sponsor period actually) of Senator Bernie Sanders Bill to Audit the Fed, the Senate version of Ron Paul's House bill to Audit the Fed.
To top that off, Erick Erickson, editor of RedState.com just posted I am all in for Rand Paul. on his Twitter account.
This is getting serious folks. Rand is a HIGHLY viable candidate. It's now up to us to make sure he gets funded and stays funded. My opinion, we need to raise him $2 Million this quarter. Remember to donate.
Pledge for this November 5th.
And spread the word about his Tea Party.(tentative link)

Sounds like the quislings have decided to become patriots now that it costs nothing. Whatever, as long as we can stop the killing and the police state socialism/fascism.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Whatever the reason Rand's getting the support we should enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteAlso regarding the PAC poll, those were members voting. I think the people have been supporting these ideals for a long time, and maybe Republican Senators are simply one of the first to start catching up to the people.
Rand proved he can beat Grayson when it's the people vs. the DC Insiders.
ReplyDeleteRand has now proven the people of Kentucky want something better.

Great work.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this story myself and put it up on Rand Paul for U.S. Senate. Notice on the newscast how the establishment might have to bring in a ringer since Grayson might end up getting embarrassed!
I love the smell of freedom. Don't forget http://thisnovember5th.com/, we have a lot of freedom lovers trying to run for the finish line. Keep up the great work everyone!!!!
