Here Are The Results of SurveyUSA Election Poll #9886

Geography Surveyed: KY 4th Congressional District

GOP No Longer Trails in KY4: In an election today, 8/10/2006, in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, Republican Geoff Davis and Democrat Ken Lucas tie, according to an exclusive SurveyUSA poll conducted for WCPO-TV Cincinnati. Davis, who lost to Lucas in 2002 but was elected in 2004 after Lucas retired, gets 46% of the vote today. Lucas, who represented the 4th District from 1999 through 2004, gets 44%. The 2-point Davis advantage is within the poll's margin of sampling error and may or may not be statistically significant. But: unmistakable is that Davis has gained ground. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll three weeks ago, Lucas is down 6, Davis is up 5. Among Independents, Lucas had led by 11, now trails by 3. Among females, Lucas had led by 16, now 4. Both parties covet the House seat as they seek control of Congress. Heavy ad spending and a nationalized agenda mean poll results are likely to fluctuate further between now and election day, 11/7/2006.

Filtering: 1,000 adults from Kentucky's 4th Congressional District were interviewed 8/7/06 - 8/9/06. Of them, 844 were registered to vote. Of them, 656 were judged to be "likely voters". Crosstabs reflect Likely Voters.
