If a new poll out of the Bluegrass State is accurate, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will want to get back to Kentucky in a hurry to shore up his re-election prospects. The Bluegrass Poll, conducted by Mason-Dixon for the Louisville Courier-Journal, surveyed 717 likely voters between 9/22-25 for a margin of error of +/- 3.7%. McConnell and Democratic businessman Bruce Lunsford were tested. General Election Matchup (With leaners) McConnell...........45 Lunsford............44 Kentuckyans are deeply unhappy with the direction of the country, with 85% saying they think things are off of the wrong track. That's the largest number of respondents disappointed with the direction of the country since the Courier-Journal started the poll in 1990, Joseph Gerth reported on Saturday. It's also the same trend that is harming incumbents across the country. Just 18% approve of the job Congress is doing, according to the latest RCP Average , while only 14% think the country is headed in the right direction. And while more people always approve of their own member of Congress than of Congress as a whole, even incumbents' numbers are dropping this year. The good news for McConnell is that his supporters seem to be happier with their candidate than Lunsford's are with the Democrat.

The financial crisis looming from Wall Street to Washington has, among other political effects, created a tale of two senators here in Kentucky. One is the saga of a Senate Republican leader, who's found himself in the precarious position of defending the Bush administration's $700 billion attempt to stave off economic collapse. The bailout proposal has rankled already exasperated and nervous voters from coast to coast, including those in Kentucky where Sen. Mitch McConnell is seeking election to a fifth term on Nov. 4. As a result, McConnell has found himself in a free-fall in the polls over the last ten days. ...
