The race to succeed Republican Senator Mitch McConnell in Kentucky remains competitive, but one candidate is emerging as the clear frontrunner, according to a new poll obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller.

Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is leading the Republican Senate primary against Republican Kentucky Rep. Andy Barr and businessman Nate Morris, capturing 40% of surveyed voters and holding an advantage among both men and women across all age groups, according to a poll commissioned on behalf of Kentucky First Action, a Cameron-aligned Super PAC.

Aaron Whitehead, an advisor for Kentucky First Action, underscored Cameron’s strength in the race, saying, “After the other candidates have spent nearly $10 million in this race, what do they have to show for it? Getting dominated by Daniel Cameron, who is very well-positioned to be Kentucky’s next senator.”

Barr campaign communications director Alex Bellizzi, however, argued that the poll is proof that Barr is gaining momentum in the race.

“Since this campaign started, Daniel Cameron has sunk 10 points in the polls without any money being spent against him, is begging for campaign donations because he’s almost out of cash, and is losing Independents in a recent general election poll against the Democrat AOC of Kentucky,” Bellizzi wrote. “Andy Barr is growing in the polls, surging with grassroots support, and has 10 times the cash-on-hand as Cameron. Daniel Cameron already lost one statewide race in Kentucky even with President Trump’s endorsement, we can’t risk him losing the Senate for President Trump.”
