I doubt Trump wins MO by 14, so another bad poll for Blunt.

Who would have thought a month ago that Burr would be better positioned than Blunt?

If Trump does win by 14, I can't see how Blunt doesn't win.

And therein lies the problem.

Coattails aren't really a thing, though.
They are, but Trump is not going to win by 14.

Repeating the same thing multiple times doesn't make it true. Blunt is just lucky that he's running in a n increasingly red state. If he were running in a swing state, he'd likely get Blanched.

If coattails were a thing, Heitkamp, Manchin, Donnelly, Collins, etc. wouldn't be Senators today and Blunt would be winning in a landslide. Granted, red states are more likely to split their tickets and vote for a Democrat for Senate or Governor than blue states, but still.

Sh*t, it's so damn frustrating to see all those razor-thin Republican leads. If Blunt, Burr, Young and Ayotte all squeak in by a point or two I'm going to be PISSED.

Coattails are stronger in some states than others, and don't make candidate quality completely irrelevant. However, if they weren't a thing at all, I doubt ND and IN would have been anywhere near as close. I also doubt that the Senate races in OH, PA, VA, and WI that year (among others) would have been so close to the presidential election. Would Bruce Poliquin have beaten Emily Cain in 2012? Would Rod Blum have won in 2012? Would he even have a chance of winning this year if Hillary was doing well in Iowa, and Grassley wasn't running for re-election?

Don't remind him of that. I'm pretty sure that if there is one thing that can make Tony even more depressed about the state of politics today it's bringing up the complete implosion of the French left and the horror show that is French politics.

I will too, but this isn't really a bad poll for Kander considering that it also has Trump massively overperforming Romney.

The new SurveyMonkey poll has Kander +6. It's probably trash, but the headwinds do seem to be against Blunt, atm.
