Election 2006
Here Are The Results of SurveyUSA Election Poll: In an election for Attorney General of Kansas today, 11/5/06, Democratic challenger Paul Morrison defeats Republican incumbent Phill Kline, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for KCTV-TV Kansas City and KWCH-TV Wichita. Three weeks ago, Morrison led 56% to 43%. Today, Morrison leads 56% to 43%. Identical. 88% of Democrats vote Democrat. 69% of Republicans vote Republican. 30% of Republicans cross-over. Independents break 2:1 for the Democrat. Morrison leads in rural Kansas, in suburban Kansas and in urban Kansas.
Washburn University poli-sci professor Bob Beatty's take: The AG race is, poll-wise, exactly where it was a month ago, with Paul Morrison leading Phill Kline 56 percent to 43 percent, a 13-point advantage. But, while the gap is the same, the numbers do show a shifting of support in some areas in the race, particularly geography. ... It's possible that Kline's attacks and TV ads on Morrison on the sexual harassment charge might have helped him cut into Morrison's lead in Eastern Kansas, but might have turned off voters in Western and rural Kansas. As part of a project on Kansas political advertising I've viewed over 250 Kansas political ads from the years 1968 to present and haven't seen anything quite like the two ads on the sex case that Kline ran - and there might be a reason for that - which is Kansans don't like them.
Beatty on the governor's poll: The SurveyUSA poll (511 likely voters, 4.4 pt. margin of error) shows Governor Sebelius with a 17 point lead over Jim Barnett, 57 percent to 40 percent, numbers that align closely with the 19 point advantage Rasmussen Reports had for her a short while ago. The last SurveyUSA poll had Sebelius up by 11. ... The last two polls indicate that it's possibe Sebelius is headed for a victory that would put her in Robert Docking territory in terms of successful Democratic Governors. Anything 10 points or over might be considered a "landslide" in Kansas terms for a Democrat. Certainly 15 points would.

I am so upset that someone is doing this to victims-taking money from victim grant money, so they can get paid a salary just for campaign purposes. It's all there in the Hutch news. How can someone work full time at as a teacher and full time to help victims of crime m-f 8-5 as the press person stated? Not happening.
