The idea of increasing the minimum wage continues to appeal to Kentucky voters, according the latest Bluegrass Poll, with a majority of people in support of raising it from the current $7.25 to $10.10 per hour.

His opponent, Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes, lambasted him for the comments and promised to work toward increasing the minimum wage if she succeeds in her bid to deny Mr. McConnell a sixth consecutive term in the U.S. Senate.
