Republican Rand Paul continues to hold a double-digit lead over Democrat Jack Conway in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race.

The race is still Solid GOP in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.  Three weeks ago, Paul held a 54% to 39% lead over Conway, Kentucky’s current attorney general.

Eighty-two percent (82%) of Kentucky Republicans support Paul, as do nearly one-in-four Democrats (24%). Conway has the backing of just 67% of voters in his own party. Voters not affiliated with either of the major parties prefer Paul by nearly 20 points.
