Eye on the Senate: Moran Leads Tiahrt, Many Kansans Undecided

| | Comments (1)

Rep. Jerry Moran narrowly leads his Republican House colleague Todd Tiahrt, 38 percent to 32 percent, in the 2010 GOP primary race for Kansas' open Senate seat in a SurveyUSA poll conducted Aug. 7-9, but nearly a third of voters remain undecided at this early stage in the race.

One year out from the August 2010 primary, 30 percent of likely GOP primary voters said they were undecided regarding their choice for the Republican nominee. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 4.6 percentage points.

Moran led Tiahrt in SurveyUSA polls conducted in April and in June, though many respondents were undecided in those polls.

As expected, Moran and Tiahrt each prevailed in his home area: Tiahrt led Moran by 3 to 1 in southeastern Kansas, where his 4th District is located, and Moran led Tiahrt 6 to 1 in western Kansas, home to his 1st District.

The seat is being vacated by Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, who is running for governor in 2010.

CQ Politics rates the race Republican Favored.

  1. Up until a few weeks ago for many of us in Arkansas we had the same problem.
    It seems we always have the choice of voting for the lesser of two evils. I am tired of it. I was looking for someone that cares and it looks like I have found him. I have not met him yet, but I have talked to some people that have. Trevor Drown, the former Green Beret from Russellville is a honest hardworking Arkansan, that has a family, rural conservative values, is a leader and bridge-builder. He is not supported by either party and is not funded by all the special interest groups. But I will tell you from what I have seen on his website and what I heard from people in the Russellville area, I am impressed. He has my support and he will get my vote. Many of us don't know it but we have a gem in Arkansas that will be a great leader in the US Senate and his name is Trevor Drown.
