The results reflect a 10-point jump for Conway from the last statewide cn|2 Poll taken Aug. 2-4. Support for Paul has held steady at around 41 percent for each of the three statewide cn|2 Polls. View the full results and crosstabs of the Aug 16-18 poll here.Nope, it can't be the fact that Paul stuck his foot in his mouth at Fancy Farm and then went straight into the wacko Aqua Buddha at college nonsense and then pissed off every rural county cop in the state by saying that they need their drug enforcement budgets cut because we need tax cuts for rich people, and the fact that all of that happened between the time the last CN|2 poll was taken August 2-4 and now.
This survey also showed the lowest percentage of undecided voters for the cn|2 Poll at 16.4%. The other two previous polls each showed the percent of undecided voters above 20%.
Paul’s spokesman, in a brief telephone interview, dismissed the results, saying “other more established polling firms are showing a healthy lead for Dr. Rand Paul.” A Rasmussen Reports poll of about 500 voters interviewed by an automated system earlier this week showed Paul with a 49-40 lead over Conway. (See other Kentucky results here).
“With all due respect, your polling has been as about consistent as Jack Conway has been on the issue of extending the Bush tax cuts,” Howard added. (The Paul campaign has criticized Conway for flip-flopping on his support for keeping the tax cuts.)
The cn|2 Poll is conducted by Braun Research Inc. of Princeton, N.J. It has a margin of error of 3.46 points.
So yeah, Conway's gained 10 points and nearly all of that came from the state's undecideds.
No, it has to be the faulty polling. It can't be that Rand Paul had one of the worst months I can ever remember any Senate candidate having.

I said this would happen. And you know what? The biggest hit is yet to come. I saw an ad at Netroots Nation that's going to hurt Rand Paul *physically.*
