LAWRENCE, KS — As first reported by the Washington Sun, Chris Mann leads over Kris Kobach in Kansas’ Attorney General race, according to a recent poll commissioned by the Democratic Attorneys General Association.
Kris Kobach’s deep unpopularity is on full display in this recent poll, with 48% of respondents viewing Kobach unfavorably.
“Kansans are fed up with Kris Kobach and his partisan political games. As Attorney General, he has continually failed to protect Kansans from violent crime, scam artists, and greedy corporations that try to take advantage of them,” said Leah Rymer, campaign spokesperson. “He has put his own political agenda ahead of protecting the people of Kansas, and Kansans are ready to kick him out of office in November.”
According to the poll, Chris Mann leads by 27 points with registered independents and by 39 points with all non-conservative independents and Republicans.
These recent numbers reflect the energy Mann has seen on the ground across Kansas.
“As we have traveled to more than 70 counties across Kansas, it is clear that Kansans are ready for change,” said Rymer. “Chris’ message of public service and refocusing this office back on the people of Kansas is resonating with voters across the political spectrum and state.”
Earlier this week, the Mann campaign released its second broadcast television ad of the cycle, featuring a sitting Republican sheriff. Mann has also shattered Attorney General fundraising records, established a bipartisan advisory committee of current and retired law enforcement leaders, and earned the endorsement of 16 labor unions.
