Kentucky Senate: Rand Paul in Good Shape as Primary Nears


Fueled by the “number of Republicans who are unhappy with the direction of the party, insurgent Rand Paul appears headed to an easy victory over Secretary of State Trey Grayson in Tuesday’s Kentucky primary contest for the GOP senate nomination, according to a Public Policy Polling survey conducted May 15-16,” Politics Daily reports.

Paul leads Grayson by 52 percent to 34 percent with three other candidates splitting 7 percent and 7 percent undecided.

Analysis:

"Rand Paul’s remarkable success is one of the biggest stories of the 2010 election cycle so far," said PPP’s Dean Debnam "It’s a clear sign of unhappiness within the Republican Party and should have establishment candidate facing primaries nationwide a little nervous about their prospects."
