Kansas Politics: Poll shows Paul Morrison with 13-point lead over Phill Kline for attorney general

A new Survey USA poll shows Democrat Paul Morrison surging past Republican Phill Kline in hotly contested race for attorney general.

In a poll taken for The Wichita Eagle and KWCH over the weekend, The Eagle reports:

If the election were held now, 56 percent of those polled said they would vote for Morrison, a Democrat, and 43 percent said they would vote for Kline, a Republican.

The margin of error is plus or minus 4.3 percent. A Survey USA poll last month showed Kline slightly ahead.

The Eagle reports:

Almost all of the momentum for Morrison -- a former Republican -- came from Republican voters, according to Survey USA.

The poll also showed that Morrison had a large lead among women voters.
