Ashley Judd Trails Mitch McConnell By 4 Points In Senator's Internal Poll [View all]
Source: The Huffington Post
An internal poll from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's campaign shows him leading actress Ashley Judd by 4 points in a potential matchup for the Republican's Kentucky Senate seat.
The poll, by Republican firm Voter/Consumer Research, demonstrates that McConnell's camp is taking the possible challenge seriously. While the details were not publicly released, a memo of the results was provided to outlets including Politico and The Washington Post.
Its release comes weeks after McConnell's campaign mocked a survey by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling that found the same 4-point margin.
McConnell's campaign manager, Jesse Benton, had panned PPP's results, saying, "It speaks volumes that even a liberal Democrat pollster with an agenda to make Mitch McConnell look bad still can't find an opponent who can lead him in Kentucky."

McTurtle's own numbers match PPP's from earlier this month.
She hasn't even announced and Ms. Judd already has the race down to low single digits in two polls.
