Seems like Missouri is tired of Utah getting all the Hot Takes!

Missouri is now Tilt R. The Senate numbers are once again in line with what you would expect with Blunt holding a mid-single digit lead over the up and coming Jason Kander

Trump will probably still win here, but it's time to move this race to toss up. Overrall today has been a pretty great polling day!

[Dr. Arch]

Thank you MO.

mfw Missouri votes for Hillary while Iowa votes for Trump

That would be an awful map.

To be honest.. Trump should be landsliding in Missouri. The demographics are nearly perfect for Trump.

Yeah their MO and IN numbers don't line up with what would be expected.

Nah, there are a lot of suburban whites that could be turned off by Trump (see his terrible numbers in the Nebraska and Kansas suburbs nearby). Plus a good base of black voters to build off of.

Still Lean R for now, though it has my intrigue.

I think Tim Kaine should stop by to woo some Catholics.

[MT Treasurer]

Not going to happen.

Not saying that Clinton is going to win Missouri, but there is deep antipathy for Trump in the working and middle class white communities in St. Louis City and St. Louis County.

Trump struggling in another Monmouth poll? I wonder when he will start whining about them again...

Kaine grew up in the KC area

[Ebsy]

I agree that Kaine would be asset on the ground in St. Louis and KC with white working and middle class Catholics who make up a large section of the democratic coalition in the state.

Jason Kander is doing surprisingly well for someone who has next to 0 name recognition. Hopefully he gets the support he needs to get his name ID up and win the Senate race.

Monmouth is a very good pollster, so even though this seems like a stretch, maybe Trump is struggling in Missouri. I think he'd have to lose by nearly 10% to actually lose it, but stranger things have happened in this election cycle.

This is far from the first poll showing a close race in Missouri.  PPP had Trump up 3, Remington Research had him up 2, Mason Dixon had Clinton up 1.

Missouri is still Tilt or Lean R because Clinton hasn't been above 43% in any poll there. That being said Trump has not been above 47% in any MO poll.

There have been 9 Missouri polls. Trump leads in 7 (2 of them by 10 and 2 very early ones by 5) and Clinton leads in 2. The ray of hope for Clinton is that the last 4 polls out of MO show a margin of error race with Trump leading by 1, 2, and 3 points in 3 of the 4 polls and Clinton leading by 1 in the 4th poll
