If this was PPP or even Fox I would give it more weight. Zogby isn't exactly known for it's accuracy though.

Probably not. That's a high bar to achieve in modern elections. 27 at best and even that might be a stretch.

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".

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.

The same was said in 2014 and Brownback was re-elected.

Thoroughly enjoyable fantasy, but frankly - I highly doubt it.

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.
