KY-06: New poll has race too close to call.

Democratic Candidate Josh Hicks is leading Republican Andy Barr in KY-06, with the majority of undecided voters supporting him.
KY-06 Congressional District Survey: n = 700, Margin of Error: +/- 4%, Text to Web: 400 IVR Landline: 300

Josh Hicks is the Democratic candidate running for Congress in Kentucky’s 6th District. With limited national funding, he’s competing in an uphill battle, yet our latest poll has him leading incumbent Andy Barr by 1 point. What’s more, 53% of respondents have never heard of Hicks compared to the only 3% of respondents who have never heard of his opponent, Barr. This takeaway highlights an important opportunity for outside investment in Hicks’ race — with so little nameID and extremely high favorability ratings, he’s poised to pull off an upset in a district that eluded Democrats in 18'.
