PPP wasn´t that off it seems ...

[Oakvale]

Huh. Well, Blunt will still almost certainly win, but - with the exception of West Virginia - this is a pretty good batch of polls for the Democrats.

[Holmes]

Don't think any Democrat can win statewide federal office in Missouri with Obama in the White House.

[Sam Spade]

Blunt was never going to win by *that* much, but you have to understand that this race is over.  Knowing Missouri, he'll end up with 52-53% (like Kit Bond's initial run) and Carnahan will get 44-45%, but whatever.

[Whacker77]

If the race really was competative, the DSCC wouldn't be pulling funds.

[Eraserhead]

I'll probably move this from Strong R back to Lean R but I basically agree with Sam's take. At least it shows us that PPP, even when they're doing internals, might be worthy of taking seriously.

[Sam Spade]

Rasmussen will say today - 52-43

Scott is having quite a (R) friendly day.

I think you're probably right about that but I'm just saying that in general (FL GOV, WV SEN, IL SEN, this).

     PPP showed similar numbers in IL-Sen, so that one's most likely on the money if nothing else. Anyway, Rasmussen & Gallup both showed a dip in President Obama's approval ratings today, so it's possible that the last day or two have just been more Republican-friendly for some reason.
