What an awful state.
While the GOP has been doing all it can to try to ruin this should-be-a-gimme pickup, just 42% of the state is willing to back McCaskill. Just goes to show how republican Missouri has become as a result of Obama.
Why are you so obsessed with this? You say this in every MO thread, but the state isn’t even more Republican than IN or MT and still willing to elect Democrats down-ballot. Anyway, no matter how you want to spin this, this is a terrible poll for Republicans. I agree with the people who think Indiana is more likely to flip, honestly. McCaskill can fire up the Democratic base without running the risk of alienating a lot of Republicans/suburbanites/swing voters/etc. and Hawley has been way too overhyped.
You are asking why somebody is so obsessed with a state going a certain way?
