Some very encouraging news today out of Kentucky today courtesy of Emerson College’s latest poll:
A new Emerson College Polling survey of Kentucky voters finds incumbent Democratic Governor Andy Beshear with 49% support in the upcoming November gubernatorial election, while a third of voters (33%) plan to support Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron. Five percent plan to vote for someone else, while 13% are undecided.
“Governor Beshear not only holds the majority of Democratic voters’ support at 85%, but also 44% of independent voters’ support and 28% of Republican voters’ support,” Spencer Kimball, Executive Director of Emerson College Polling, said. “Cameron has a weaker base of support within his own party with 53%, and trails Beshear among independent voters with 25%.”
Governor Beshear holds a 44% approval rating among Kentucky voters, and a 28% job disapproval; 28% of voters are neutral. President Biden holds a 22% job approval, while 62% of voters disapprove of the job he is doing in the Oval Office; 16% are neutral.
“While Biden is an unpopular figure among Kentucky voters, Beshear has been able to separate himself from the president: he holds a 66% approval rating within his own party, and a 34% approval among both independent and Republican voters,” Kimball noted.
