Breaking Poll: Northup/McConnell in Free-Fall

Survey USA and WHAS-11 in Louisville just released a poll on the Kentucky Governor's race that shows Ernie Fletcher surging past Mitch McConnell's hand-picked candidate Anne Northup. McConnell has to be terrified that he is not only losing ground himself on Kentucky's electorate, but now appears to losing his grasp over his own state party:

.........................March 7..... April 3.....Change
Ernie Fletcher........ 33%............ 40%...........+7%
Anne Northup........ 31%............ 31%............. 0
Billy Harper...........13%............ 16%........... +3%
Undecided/Other.....23%............ 13%

This is disastrous news for Northup, especially given that the poll was taken before today's news came out that Northup is blaming her staff after being caught lying in a questionnaire about her previous vote on the state lottery.
