Ryan Alessi has an article up today that reveals some of the results from the polling that was conducted the past few days.

Word got around Louisville about the polling before it was known that Erwin Roberts would probably have to withdraw due to his Army Reserve unit being mobilized.

The poll results for Anne Northup are good for her and bad for Rep. John Yarmuth, in short.

Here’s what Carmack said the poll showed:

On the question of whether respondents would prefer a Republican or Democrat representing the district, 40 percent chose a Republican and 42 percent said a Democrat. “Numbers I see all the time show the Republicans down by double-digits,” Carmack said.

On how favorably respondents viewed Northup and Yarmuth:
57 percent had a favorable view of Northup, with 38 percent strongly favorable
54 percent had a favorable view of Yarmuth, with 25 percent strongly favorable

If the election between the two were held today, Yarmuth would have a 49 percent to 47 percent advantage over Northup. While that’s within the margin of error, as Carmack noted, it’s nearly identical to the 51 to 48 percent (with 1 percent going to an independent candidate) results from the 2006 election in which Yarmuth unseated Northup.

When asked which was better at solving local problems and bringing projects back to Louisville, Carmack said 50 percent said Northup was best and 34 percent said Yarmuth was best.
