Lisa Johnston Continues to Maintain Sizable Lead in Recent U.S. Senate Primary Poll

In the August 2nd Survey USA poll conducted for KWCH in Wichita examining the Democratic U.S. Senate primary, Dr. Lisa Johnston continued to maintain the substantial lead she has held for all primary polls that have been conducted.  

In this latest poll, 29% of respondents indicated that they would vote for her today as compared with 21%, 12%, 7% and 6% for her opponents.  This was a sizable increase from the 23% of respondents indicating support for Dr. Johnston in the July 19th poll. Although there are still a number of undecided voters, it seems reasonable to expect that they will split among the five candidates in a proportional fashion.

These results bode well for Dr. Johnston and reveal the significant possibility that she will become the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate.

What the Press is saying about Schollenberger for U.S. Senate

Kansas City Star Editorial - June 30, 2010
"Give Schollenberger credit for addressing one of the most important issues facing Kansans in the coming years - how to boost fortunes in the western half of the state... Schollenberger's playbook: Get this campaign back on issues that affect Kansas and Kansans"

Kansas U.S. Senate candidate Charles Schollenberger is now supporting the creation of a Great Plains National Park... True, Schollenberger is a Democrat, running not only in GOP-friendly Kansas, but also in a difficult climate for his party. Still, he's got this one right and for the right reasons. Schollenberger has pledged to support the rather grand idea for a new national park in western Kansas because it both preserves the native Kansas prairie and "the tourism generated by the park could also become a potential savior to the dwindling local economies."
Give Schollenberger credit for addressing one of the most important issues facing Kansans in the coming years - how to boost fortunes in the western half of the state...

Kansas City Star editorial - July 18, 2010
"Charles Schollenberger is the the best choice is a novice field"

In the Democratic primary, Charles Schollenberger is the best choice in a novice field. The longtime political activist and former Congressional staffer has been around the game since the 1970s, which helps to compensate for his lack of experience in actually holding an office.
Schollenberger believes in cutting the federal budget by limiting earmarks and pruning defense spending. He's a strong advocate of green job potential for Kansans through wind energy. . .

New Appeal to Reason: Who I am voting for in the August Kansas Primary

"I don't ever remember so many choices in the Kansas Democratic primary as we have this year.  There has been a lot more heat and dollars spent on the GOP side, so the information to make an informed decision has been hard to come by. For what it is worth, here are my recommendations.

U.S. Senate: CHARLES SCHOLLENBERGER is the candidate who has taken the most progressive positions on the issues. Schollenberger, so far as I can determine, is the only candidate to openly support unions and the Employee Free Choice Act.

On the economy, Schollenberger has articulated a strong, progressive program in contrast to Lisa Johnson who displays the rhetoric of the right. She writes about the "skyrocketing federal deficit" and promotes the misleading and dangerous notion that the federal government, instead of acting to stabilize the economy as a whole, should emulate the mythical household. David Haley in the Wichita Eagle Candidate survey also pushed the GOP line about balanced budgets and even supporting the line-item veto.
