Beshear Still Up 16 In SurveyUSA Poll
Governor Fletcher has narrowed the margin in the governor's race, but not much.
The latest SurveyUSA/WHAS 11 poll shows Beshear leading Fletcher 56%-40%. Last month, Beshear led by 19 points in the same poll. The survey shows Beshear losing some support among male voters. In September, 58% of likely male voters planned to vote for Beshear. This month, it's 53% with Fletcher jumping up to 44% support among males. Beshear still has 59% of the female vote. In a strange twist, Fletcher loses support among folks who identify themselves as Republicans while gaining ground among Demcrats.
GOP voters: Beshear 30% Fletcher 65%
Dem. Voters: Beshear 76% Fletcher 22%
The only major bad news for Fletcher in this poll is that he's still far behind with 4 weeks to go. He gained among voters 50 years old and older and picked up support in the Louisville and western regions of the state, staying steady elsewhere.

Yeah, the only bad news for Fletcher is that he's still way behind. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the theater?

Hey Mark, I was wondering what you think on this info??? Should this be encouraging to the Fletcher camp or to Beshears folks or is it just moot point. It seems that as rapped up as this looks it could still swing! What’s your opinion?
