The latest establishment media smear attempt against Rand Paul, in which they falsely reported for over a week that the Kentucky Senatorial candidate had “abducted” and “force drugged” a woman while in college, has completely failed again, with the very latest Rasmussen poll showing that Paul has retained a healthy lead over Democratic opponent Jack Conway.
The latest Rasmussen survey, conducted on Tuesday in the immediate aftermath of the “kidnap” hoax, confirms that Paul maintains a nine point lead over Conway in the race for the Kentucky Senate seat, a result “almost identical to those found in three surveys conducted in July and June,” proving that both the kidnap smear and the hyped civil rights argument had absolutely no effect at all on Paul’s popularity in the state.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Paul picking up 49% support, while Conway earns the vote from 40%. Four percent (4%) prefer another candidate, and seven percent (7%) are undecided,” states the report.
In addition, when “leaners” are added to equation, people who are initially undecided but then lean towards a particular candidate when follow-up questions are asked, Paul extends his lead to ten points, attracting 51% of the vote to Conway’s 41%. Leaners become more important as the election gets nearer.
10 per cent more voters are “certain” to vote for Paul (73%) than for Conway (63%), emphasizing the fact that despite the manufactured controversies surrounding Paul, his support has in fact hardened.
