Ironically it seems Trump is the one pulling Greitens and Blunt up here...

Again, I doubt Trump is actually ahead by 14, but it does seem like this race has tightened.

Probably attributable to the oddly huge lead for Trump statewide. Doubt this materializes on election day.

Look at data from past election years, it does appear polls tend to understate support for MO Democrats pre-election.

I think Koster wins. He is just being hurt by this "outsider" year.

He would be well positioned to run for re-election in 2020, but then his previous support should return.

Is it me, or does "Spragins" sound like a Hobbit surname? :D
