MO-SEN: Blunt up by 1

Taken Monday through Wednesday, the poll shows Blunt with 47 percent and Kander with 46 percent, with 5 percent undecided, reflecting a race that has been close for months and has drawn increasing national attention, and money.

The Post-Dispatch reported Wednesday that at least $26 million has been spent by outside groups trying to influence the Senate race on both sides, on top of more than $23 million raised by the candidates, with millions more spending to come.

The 66-year-old Blunt’s strengths are in rural Missouri and among older voters, segments where he has double-digit leads, the poll shows. Kander, 35, Missouri's secretary of state, is winning voters under 35 decisively and carrying metro St. Louis and Kansas City, signaling that each candidate’s ability to get out the vote in these strongholds will be key to which one wins on Nov. 8.
