Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Because Republicans hold 80% or more of the seats in both chambers of the Kentucky General Assembly, Beshear has very little leeway to advance liberal policies that would be unpopular in the state.
49% : Even though the Old Dominion has been a "blue state" when it comes to presidential elections for years -- George W. Bush was the last Republican presidential candidate to carry Virginia in his 2004 re-election -- and it has reliably sent Democrats to the U.S. Senate over the same period, state elections have been more slanted toward the Grand Ol' Party.
48% : Tuesday will see millions of Americans cast ballots in off-year elections in a handful of states around the country for legislators, governors, and on ballot questions amending state constitutions.
43% : Complete strangers who assist children in obtaining life-altering procedures would find themselves on the right side of the law, while parents who try to protect their children would be deemed to have run afoul of the law.
