TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A new poll suggests the Kansas governor’s race is a toss-up and the race for senate is very close.

The poll released Sunday by NBC News and Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, showed Democratic challenger Paul Davis as the choice of 45 percent of the likely voters surveyed.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback was the choice of 44 percent.

Libertarian candidate Keen Umbehr was chosen by 5 percent and 6 percent were undecided.

More of those surveyed viewed Brownback unfavorably than favorably — 50 percent to 42 percent.

Forty-three percent of those surveyed viewed Davis favorably and 34 percent viewed him unfavorably.

But 19 percent were unsure of their impressions of Davis, compared to 8 percent for Brownback.

The poll also released Sunday showed independent candidate Greg Orman as the choice of 45 percent of the likely voters surveyed.

Republican Sen. Pat Roberts was the choice of 44 percent.

Libertarian candidate Randall Batson was chosen by 4 percent and 7 percent of those surveyed were undecided.

Both polls surveyed 757 likely voters from Oct. 18 through Oct. 22. The margin of error was 3.6 percent.

More of those surveyed viewed Roberts unfavorably than favorably — 46 percent to 43 percent, with 11 percent unsure.

Forty-two percent of those surveyed viewed Orman favorably and 37 percent viewed him unfavorably. Another 18 percent were unsure.
