Kentucky Congressman Andy Barr is facing serious backlash after promoting a laughably fake poll claiming President Donald Trump is unpopular in the very state where he crushed Democrats by 30 points just over a year ago. The desperate move has conservatives questioning whether "Amnesty Andy" Barr is the right choice to represent Kentucky in the U.S. Senate.
According to reports, Barr has been circulating an internal poll from a left-wing Democratic candidate that absurdly claims Trump has only a +6 approval rating in Kentucky - a state that delivered one of Trump's most decisive victories in 2024. The bogus numbers stand in stark contrast to reality, where Trump dominated the Bluegrass State and continues to enjoy overwhelming support among Kentucky conservatives.
Social media erupted over Barr's questionable tactics, with one prominent conservative account posting: "The 'poll' that Amnesty Andy Barr is promoting is a fake internal poll from a leftwing Dem candidate that claims President Trump is only at a +6 approval rating in *Kentucky*... a state he won by 30 points. Does Barr really think President Trump is that unpopular? Pathetic."

The incident raises serious red flags about Barr's judgment and his alignment with the America First agenda that Kentucky voters overwhelmingly support. Why would a Republican candidate promote polling data from Democrats that attempts to undermine President Trump's popularity in his own stronghold state?
Patriots across Kentucky are now asking the tough questions: Is Andy Barr really the best choice to represent their conservative values in Washington? Or is this just another example of a establishment Republican who doesn't truly understand the MAGA movement that has transformed the party?
As one social media user noted, this latest controversy provides "the nightly chuckle" - but for Kentucky conservatives, Barr's willingness to amplify anti-Trump messaging might not be so funny when it comes time to vote.
The question remains: Can Kentucky Republicans trust a candidate who promotes fake polls designed to make President Trump look weak in their own backyard?
