Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) is running dead even against independent challenger Greg Orman, according to the first Kansas Senate poll since the Democratic nominee announced last week that he was withdrawing from the race.

The SurveyUSA poll, conducted for KSN News, gave Orman 37 percent of the vote to Roberts' 36 percent (a difference within the poll's margin of error). Democrat Chad Taylor, whose name will remain on the ballot pending a lawsuit, took 10 percent, with libertarian Randall Batson winning 6 percent and the remainder undecided.

Orman's campaign cheered the poll's results on Twitter, telling supporters "We’re in it to win it" and urging them to "help keep the momentum going."

Before asking voters to weigh in, the poll informed them about the race's complicated dynamics, stating that "Democrat Chad Taylor's name still appeared on the ballot even though he no longer wants to run."

2. So the poll informed them of the complicated dynamic and then asked them to vote....now?!

And 10% still voted for Thompson who does not even want the job? How does that work with voters?
