Poll Gives Davis Big Edge

"Two-term Republican Congressman Geoff Davis of Boone County holds a 13-point lead over Democrat Michael Kelley in a poll released Tuesday.

Davis leads Kelley, an Oldham County physician making his first run for office, 54 percent to 41 percent, according to a SurveyUSA poll done for WCPO-TV in Cincinnati, WLEX-TV in Lexington and WHAS-TV in Louisville. The automated phone poll of 550 likely voters was conducted June 28-30 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.

Five percent of voters are undecided.

"There's only one poll that matters, and that's on Election Day," Davis campaign manager Jeremy Hughes said in an e-mail. "Congressman Davis is raising funds, organizing volunteers, and preparing for another tough election. We will take nothing for granted this fall."

According to the poll, Davis leads among men (by 22 points) and women (by 6 points) over Kelley. Kelley leads by 3 points among voters 18 to 34. Davis leads by 14 percentage points among voters 35 to 49, 19 percentage points among voters 50 to 64 and 27 percentage points among voters 65 and older.

In the poll, 21 percent of Democrats cross party lines to support Davis; 9 percent of Republicans support Kelley.".... Poll Gives Davis Edge
