GOP Poll: Kobach Would Win Kansas Senate Primary, Unless Pompeo Jumps In

Source: Wall Street Journal

Internal Republican polling shows Kris Kobach trouncing the current GOP primary field for an open U.S. Senate seat Kansas, but losing by double digits to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, should he jump into the race.

The previously unpublished findings show Mr. Kobach with 43% support among likely Kansas primary voters in a field without Mr. Pompeo, which puts him far ahead of his next closest rival, Rep. Roger Marshall (R., Kan.), who got 24%. Republican Senate President Susan Wagle registered at 8%, followed by oil magnate Wink Hartman at 5% and former Chiefs defensive end Dave Lindstrom at 3%. Sixteen percent of GOP voters said they were undecided. The poll has a margin of error plus or minus 4.1%.

The telephone survey of 607 likely Kansas primary voters was conducted Oct. 21-23 for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Senate GOP campaign arm, which has publicly warned that Mr. Kobach's Senate candidacy could put the party’s Senate majority at risk.

"These numbers reflect what we have seen on the campaign trail. Republicans across Kansas overwhelmingly support our campaign. And there is still room to grow and push the needle past 50 percent," said Mr. Kobach.

Don't forget, he lost the governor's race to a Democrat in Kansas.

And even among Republicans, he gets just 43% in the polls.
