| 5½ Months From Vote, KS-1 GOP Primary Voters Unfocused: In a Republican primary election for US Representative held in Kansas' 1st Congressional District today, 2/23/10, likely voters scatter their votes among 7 candidates, according to this SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for KWCH-TV Wichita.
The primary is in 161 days; the deadline for candidates to file to appear on the primary ballot is in 107 days: the slate of candidates named in this poll may shift as deadlines near. Today, 2 of the 7 named candidates poll in double digits:
State Senator Jim Barnett gets 23% of the vote, finishing first among most demographic groups. Four other candidates combine to take 15% of the vote; another 15% say they would vote for "some other Republican" if the primary were held today. 1 in 4 likely voters are undecided. Kansas political parties decide before each primary whether the primary will be open to voters who are not affiliated with any political party; SurveyUSA includes unaffiliated voters here, where they make up 9% of the electorate. Incumbent Republican Representative Jerry Moran is running in the primary election for United States Senate and is not seeking reelection to his House seat. |
