Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) is still trailing Democratic rival Paul Davis, a poll released Thursday finds.
A KSN News poll found Davis, a member of the state’s House of Representatives, leading Brownback 48 to 40 percent, slightly up from a survey conducted by the NBC affiliate last month. KSN cited Davis’ growing support among Republicans — 29 percent said they plan to vote for the state representative versus 24 percent in the June poll — as one reason for his gain.
Davis also has strong support from women: 51 percent of female respondents said they’d vote for the Democrat, versus 36 percent who would support Brownback.
Earlier this month, Davis picked up the endorsement of Republicans for Kansas values, a group of 104 current and former Republican officeholders.
“This election should not be about electing a Republican or a Democrat as Governor. It must be about electing a moderate, commonsense Kansan as governor,” former state Senate President Dick Bond said of the endorsement.
The KSN survey was conducted from July 17 to 22 and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 2.9 percent.
