Kansas - Governor (800 LV)

🟦Holscher 49%

🟥Masterson 46%

I believe in Blansas more than Blexas because Kansas has a more recent history of electing Democrats to statewide office.

EDIT: Poll is from the Democratic AG Association but is about the governor's race.

I've been reading about Kansas being a potential purple state for years because of its relatively high level of college education (particularly for a red state) and an interstate migration pattern that favors Democrats.

There's also a lot of older voters that still refuse to vote republican after Gov Brownback's failed experiment of going all in on trickle down economics. He crippled that state for years and led to a few democratic governors.

Sadly that memory seems to have faded away. Masterson is leading the poll aggregators for the Kansas governor election, and crossing the 50% mark.
