David Boswell (D): 42 (43)
Brett Guthrie (R): 51 (49)
(MoE: ±4.2%)

This is one of those few races where the DCCC's involvement has seemed to have done more harm than good. Just check out this recent Bowling Green Daily News editorial to see what I mean.

On the heels of this rough SUSA poll, Boswell has released his own internal poll. Garin Hart Yang (10/8-9, likely voters, 8/23-25 in parens):

David Boswell (D): 41 (40)
Brett Guthrie (R): 40 (33)
(MoE: ±4.9%)

It's never a great sign when your own internals show the other guy with the big mo'.
