Dr. Dan is on the move

Kentucky's next U.S. Senator sent me this email:

Dear Andy,
We just got some exciting news.
According to a new
WHAS/SurveyUSA poll released Tuesday, Daniel holds an eight point lead (39-31) over Attorney General Jack Conway in the Democratic primary and Daniel has replaced Conway as the strongest Democratic candidate against Trey Grayson.
Daniel Leads Across Board: Men, Women, Young, Old, East, West
The breakdown of the numbers is proof that Daniel is the candidate Kentucky families want to stand up for them in Washington. Daniel leads Conway among:
Men and Women (12 pt lead)
All ages: 18-34, 50+, with particular strength among 65+ (+21 pt. lead).
Conservative, Moderate and Liberal Democrats
College and Non-College Graduates
Those making over and under $50K a year
Western, Northern/Central and Eastern Kentucky. In Western Kentucky Daniel is favored 2 to 1! In Eastern Kentucky voters support Daniel 4 to 1!
Voters understand Daniel is the only candidate with a record of fighting for working families---who supports healthcare reform, developing clean Kentucky coal, and opposes the cap and trade bill supported by Jack Conway which will cause electric rates to soar and cost thousands of Kentucky jobs.
With strong support from women, seniors, and young adults, as well as conservative, moderate, and liberal voters from every region of the state, Daniel is putting together a winning coalition to not just win a primary, but to elect a Democratic Senator from Kentucky.
Read further analysis of the poll
here.
Daniel Replaces Conway As Strongest Dem Against Grayson
By a narrow margin, Daniel has replaced Conway as the strongest Democrat against Grayson, with Daniel getting 40% of the vote to Grayson's 46%, while Conway gets 37% of the vote to Grayson's 44%.
Since April, Conway has lost 11 pts. and his lead over Grayson. In a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling in April, Conway held a 4 pt. lead over Grayson (37-33); now Conway trails Grayson by 7 pts. (37-44).
This new poll makes clear Jack Conway's support is limited to Louisville and non-gun owners---hardly a winning scenario in a statewide race against a Republican. In contrast, Daniel has strong support amongst all Democratic groups and can strongly compete in regions of Kentucky where Republicans traditionally do well.
But We Still Need Your Support
With these new poll numbers, it is becoming ever more clear that this election cannot be won with just one region, one kind of supporter or one source of money. It will be won with the support of people like you - the hardworking people of Kentucky from all across the commonwealth. We have consistently raised more money from small donors within Kentucky than our opponent and with your generous donation of $35, $50, $100 or whatever you can contribute we can keep on doing so!
We hope you'll continue standing up with Daniel for jobs, healthcare reform, and developing clean Kentucky coal. Visit our website
