oh, come on; some of you Clinton supporters are as gullible as Trump followers. Of course Kansas could go blue, anything is possible, but we all know these polls and studies mean about as much as our views here mean. Cheer and hope for who you want: this is normal but to get excited over something like this is thinking with your heart not your head.
If this was PPP or even Fox I would give it more weight. Zogby isn't exactly known for it's accuracy though.
Kansas will vote Republican. I could elaborate why, but I suspect most people know. The one that mentioned Wyandotte and Douglas was on target, but then, that isn't the "real" Kansas. I lived in 6 different cities in KS spread over a lot of years and other parts of the country. Ah, the things I could tell you about Kansas from the prospective of an "outsider".
Nothing shocking there. Unless you're uninformed about some of the loopy krap going on in that state. Kansas ditched its "midwest values" long ago (yup, all those refugee "resettlement" schemes are working according to plan).
Republicans will simply have to learn to live without its 6 electoral votes.
A poll with a sample size of 433 people seems small, but I do think Trump is toxic. Lucky for him, Hillary is also toxic.
The question is, who is more toxic?
I think there is only maybe one state that would hurt Trump in and that's Arizona. And that is dependent on Hispanic turnout being very high this year. I would add North Carolina to the list but that could also be the result of a deeply unpopular government as well. For the most part all the talk of either candidate making plays in states is a load. Hillary is not going to win Utah or Kansas. Trump is not going to flip Michigan or New York.
Not surprising. The Republican leadership in Kansas has destroyed the state's economic solvency. Kansas is a red hot Conservative mess. It's small wonder the people there are turned off to the GOP. Kansas is a microcosm of what the country would look like under Conservative rule. It ain't pretty.
The same was said in 2014 and Brownback was re-elected.
2009 isn't years and following the end of her Democratic term, Brownback was elected. That does say something. He was re-elected in 2014. So, after she finally left the state, the Democrats were unable to win. Got to wonder why, don't you!
I am very familiar with KS politics, actually just about "everything Kansas".
We all know why those that don't like Brownback don't like him and trust me when I tell you that those reasons are the ones that got him re-elected by the voters in KS.
funny... someone is blaming a politician who left in 2009 for the mess KS is in today... but, according to the same people, Obama didn't inherit a mess in 2009 and everything bad that happened from then on is his fault. How can it be so different in KS than in the US as a whole? Is it just because "we're not in KS any more"?

Yeah, well, it's Kansas. Everything is slower there, especially, it would see, common sense.
