In final public polling before tomorrow's Democratic Senate primary, Louisville businessman Bruce Lunsford has a large lead over opponent Greg Fischer.

According to a SurveyUSA/WHAS poll of 629 likely voters, Lunsford is polling 47 percent support to Fischer's 26. Four percent remain undecided.

With exactly a week to go before Kentucky's primary election day, Democratic Senate candidate and Louisville businessman Bruce Lunsford has a sizeable lead over the other six candidates in his bid to secure his party's nomination to take on incumbent Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Louisvile) in November according to two new polls.

A new poll by the New Jersey-based firm SurveyUSA finds Lunsford sitting on an eighteen point lead over his nearest competition, Louisville businessman Greg Fischer. Lunsford holds a 41 to 23 percent advantage over Fischer of the May 20 primary. A Lexington Herald-Leader poll released yesterday evening shows Lunsford up twenty points over Fischer, with a 43 to 23 percent lead.

With 21 days left until the Democratic Senate primary, Bruce Lunsford holds a 25 point lead over his nearest opponent in the seven-candidate field, Greg Fischer, according to numbers from the newest SurveyUSA/WHAS poll.

Lunsford now pulls 43 percent support from among the 555 likely voters polled. That figure is down four points from the last poll, released on April 15.

Fischer has doubled his support since the last poll, jumping from 9 to 18 percent.

SurveyUSA's latest polls find Louisville businessman Bruce Lunsford and New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton with growing leads atop their respective races. Lunsford's lead in the seven-candidate Democratic Senate primary field grew 5 percent since the last poll by SurveyUSA. That poll gave Lunsford 42 percent support among 572 "likely" Democratic voters.
