Democrat Steve Beshear has a commanding lead over Gov. Ernie Fletcher with less than seven weeks remaining before the Nov. 6 gubernatorial election, according to a Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll.

In a poll of 667 likely voters, the newspaper found that Beshear leads Fletcher 55 percent to 35 percent, with 10 percent undecided. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

The poll found that Beshear leads among both men and women, all age groups and income levels and in every congressional district in the state.

In Jefferson County, Beshear leads by a margin of more than 3 to 1.

The two candidates are virtually tied among voters who attend a church, synagogue or mosque on a weekly basis.

But among those voters who consider themselves evangelical or born-again Christians, 53 percent say they will vote for Beshear and only 40 percent say they will vote for Fletcher, the Republican.
