The conservative American Action Forum has released a slew of polls this morning from GOP pollster Ayres, McHenry & Associates, including one in Missouri's 3rd Congressional District. Their survey shows that Russ Carnahan enjoys a "comfortable" 54 to 38 lead over Ed Martin.

Our polling, conducted for American Action Forum on August 16, 17, and 21, with 400 likely general election voters, shows Representative Russ Carnahan with a comfortable lead at the start of the Fall campaign. Carnahan’s 51 to 35 percent favorable-unfavorable rating (with 98 percent total name ID) exceeds challenger Ed Martin’s 16 to 9 percent rating (with 43 percent total name ID), and Carnahan leads by a 54 to 38 percent margin.

Sixteen percent of respondents have a favorable opinion of Martin?  That seems high. 

Margin of error: ±4.90 percent. For more, check out the memo, toplines and crosstabs.
