Blunt - 48%
Kander - 43%
Dine (L) - 3%

One of the few MO polls to show Blunt outperforming Trump.

Hmmmm,
I think this is probably correct. Blunt has an edge but it has the potential of being competitive.

Blunt's vulnerability was always overrated. It's still possible Kander could win, but IL, WI, IN, NH, PA, FL, and probably NC or AZ will flip first.

Possibly, but he's still vulnerable. Kander has very low name ID, so he might have room to grow. The Clinton campaign has also not invested in the state at all. Koster is also very popular, so there are many elements that could work in Kander's favor in this race.

This race could end up being a nail-biter, but I think Blunt still wins in the end
