Gallrein Leads Massie in Kentucky GOP Primary Poll
Trump’s endorsement and more than $25 million in ad spending are helping Gallrein build a narrow lead, the poll found.
- A new Quantus Insights poll released Wednesday shows former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein leading incumbent Representative Thomas Massie 48.3% to 43.1% in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District GOP primary.
- President Donald Trump endorsed Gallrein, fueling the race after clashing repeatedly with Massie over federal spending and the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- The contest has become the most expensive House primary in history, with more than $25 million in ad spending, as Gallrein gains ground with women at 52.3%.
- Kentucky voters began early, in-person voting on Thursday ahead of the May 19 primary, which tests Trump's endorsement power against Republicans who have broken with him.
- Quantus Insights described Massie's 43% support as a "warning sign," noting that a meaningful share of the Republican primary electorate is prepared to move in another direction.
