Kentucky voters don't care much for U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, but see no better option in the Nov. 4 election for the U.S. Senate, according to the latest Bluegrass Poll and follow-up interviews by students in the University of Kentucky School of Journalism and Telecommunications.
The Bluegrass Poll is conducted by Survey USA for The Courier-Journal, the Lexington Herald-Leader, Louisville's WHAS-TV and Lexington's WKYT-TV. The poll sponsors agreed to give Associate Professor Al Cross contact information for the poll respondents who were willing to grant follow-up interviews, and worded the questionnaire accordingly. The students are in a special reporting course taught by Cross and his co-instructor, Bill Goodman of KET.
The poll, taken Aug. 25-27 and published almost two weeks ago, showed McConnell leading Grimes, 46 percent to 42 percent. For a podcast story on the voter interviews, by student Ben Tompkins of Prospect (right), in a 6-megabyte mp3 file, click here.
