Throughout the U.S. Senate race, rumors persisted that if Alison Lundergan Grimes lost, she would quickly launch a gubernatorial bid.
Only a third of Kentucky voters think that’s a good idea, according to
the final Bluegrass Poll of 2014, conducted last week before the
election.
Poll respondents were asked: “If Alison Lundergan Grimes fails in her
bid for the U.S. Senate, should she run for the Democratic nomination
for governor in 2015?”
Fifty percent of registered voters said no — and that was in a poll that
showed McConnell with a five-point lead, well short of the 15-point
margin he ended up with Tuesday — and 33 percent said yes. The remainin
17 percent said they weren’t sure.
