(Background: A recent campaign poll from the LT. Governor Dr. Dan Mongiardo campaign shows the Doctor leading Attorney-General Jack Conway by a 43-28 margin...This posted result lead to squabbling between the Lt Governor's and the Attorney-General's campaign staff about whom is the better candidate Mark Riddle of the Conway team claimed that an April survey by Public Policy Polling showed Conway to be the better candidate. Below is Public Policy Polling's response to that claim. "We polled in Kentucky last month, and although we didn't look at the primary match up we can break this down a little based on the data we did get.
Conway and Mongiardo have almost equal favorables among Democratic voters- 58% have a positive opinion of the Lieutenant Governor and 57% have one of the Attorney General. Mongiardo's negatives are slightly higher within the party at 18%, compared to 10% for Conway."
