WASHINGTON — Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning cursed at reporters during a telephone press call and refused to release the results of an internal political poll Tuesday.
The poll results are "none of your goddamn business," Bunning told reporters.
When a reporter asked whether Bunning's decision to keep the poll numbers private implies that he isn't happy with the results, he responded: "You are going to infer any damn thing you choose, so why should I try to influence it?"
For the past few months, Bunning has sparred with Republican leaders and the news media as both questioned whether the senator can mount a strong bid for a third term. For weeks, reporters pressed for and Bunning promised to share the results of a campaign poll conducted in late February. The results are seen as a critical test of Bunning's viability to potential campaign donors and voters.
