A week before Election Day, Kansas Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and Republican Attorney General Derek Schmidt remain essentially tied in the race for governor, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
Kelly leads Schmidt 46% to 43%, a 1% improvement on the lead Emerson found in its September poll. However, the lead still falls within the margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points for the poll conducted by Emerson College Polling and The Hill.
The poll found that state Sen. Dennis Pyle, an independent running to Schmidt’s right, has support among 5% of voters. Another 5% of voters remained undecided.
