Rep. Jerry Moran is leading Rep. Todd Tiahrt for the GOP nomination to succeed Kansas Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, besting him 40 percent to 33 percent with 27 percent undecided, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted Jan. 29-31. The margin of error is 4.4 points. Brownback is running for governor.

SurveyUSA says that's a modest bump upwards for Moran since its last poll.

The two run evenly among conservatives (62 percent of the sample), but Moran has a 47 percent to 25 percent advantage among moderates, who make up 29 percent of the sample. Twenty-nine percent of moderates are undecided.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
