Donald Trump Jr. headlined a rally on Thursday afternoon for Kentucky's Gov. Matt Bevin, but attendance at the event was reportedly so poor that organizers encouraged people to leave their seats and huddle closer to the stage.

The president's eldest son and his partner Kimberley Guilfoyle were rallying at Pikeville's Appalachian Wireless Arena in support of Bevin's re-election bid. Pike County is historically Democratic in its local politics, though tended recently to back Republicans as president.

According to WFPL reporter Ryland Barton, the event was "sparsely-attended" and "organizers have asked the audience to move out of the seats and closer to the stage." WFPL reported that around 200 people attended. The U.S. Census Bureau says Pike County's population is 58,402

The Lexington Herald-Leader described the Appalachian Wireless Arena, which has a maximum capacity of 7,000, as "mostly empty" for the Bevin rally.

I saw less people at a Romney event when he was running for President..

They probably all reckoned it was a waste of time since he will win easily.

New poll shows Bevin becoming more unpopular

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin’s popularity with Kentuckians is getting worse, said a new poll released Thursday.

Bevin, who is seeking re-election this year, remains America’s least popular governor with a 56 percent disapproval and 32 percent approval rating, said Morning Consult, a global, privately held media company.

It said Bevin’s disapproval score has gotten 4 percentage points worse since the beginning of the year. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.



Perhaps the turnout reflects the enthusiasm Bevin generates among voters.
