The Senate race in Kansas, a deeply Republican stronghold, might just be turning into a major wild card in this year's election cycle — thanks to the deep unpopularity of Republican Sen. Pat Roberts.

A new poll from Democratic-aligned firm Public Policy Polling gives Roberts only 32 percent — but still in first place — followed by Democratic nominee Chad Taylor, the district attorney of Shawnee County (the Topeka area) with 25 percent; and independent candidate Greg Orman, a businessman and political centrist, with 23 percent. The survey of likely voters was conducted from August 14 to 17, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
