Grimes Takes Lead Over McConnell in Kentucky

A new Bluegrass Poll in Kentucky finds Alison Lundergran Grimes (D) just ahead of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) in the U.S. Senate race, 46% to 44%.

Key finding: “While that advantage is within the poll’s margin of error, it represents a 6-point swing to the Democrat since the last survey in late August.”
