Aug 4th poll has McConnell 17 point lead over Amy McGrath. Does anyone know if that has changed?

1. It's Kentucky-- the article says Republicans win mainly just because they are Republicans.

'She's giving him a run for his money': McGrath closing gap on McConnell in latest Quinnipiac poll items.[0].image.alt By: Web Staff Posted at 3:21 PM, Aug 06, 2020 and last updated 2:35 PM, Aug 06, 2020 Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell holds a slight lead over Democratic challenger Amy McGrath, 49 to 44%, with 5% of voters undecided, according to a new poll published by Quinnipiac University. "Can a former Marine fighter pilot with 89 combat missions win a dogfight with a seasoned political powerhouse who has gone to war D.C. style for decades? She's giving him a run for his money," Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said. According to the poll, Republicans go for McConnell 92 to 6%, while Democrats go for McGrath 86 to 11%. Independents are divided with 46% backing McGrath and 40% backing McConnell. Of voters who name a candidate, 89% say their mind is made up, while 11 percent say they might change their minds. Voters give McConnell a slightly negative 43 to 48% favorability rating, and they give Amy McGrath a negative 32 to 42% favorability rating. Twenty-five percent say they haven't heard enough about McGrath to have an opinion. As the incumbent Republican, 41% of voters say McConnell has the right attitude towards President Trump, 37% say he is too supportive of the president, and 13% say he isn't supportive enough of him. Kentucky job approval ratings Job approval ratings for the two U.S. Senators from Kentucky: Voters are split on the way McConnell is handling his job, with 46% approving and 48% disapproving; Voters slightly approve of the way Rand Paul is handling his job, 43 to 38%, with 19% undecided. For Gov. Andy Beshear: Voters approve 63 to 34% for the governor is handling his job. Voters also approve 66 to 30% for Beshear’s pandemic response. |

7. McConnell
Last year, a Democrat defeated the republican Governor of Kentucky. That was originally deemed as very unlikely, but it happened. We can’t give up.

8. I keep seeing where the race is close but thru out I have been seeing a wide gap. So,
I have sat pondering myself. McConnell behaves as if there is not a threat. I tend to believe the wide spread. I am amazed, but he is installed and Republican in Kentucky.
