(R)asmussen Poll--MO Senate: Blunt 52% (-1) Carnahan 44% (+1)

[WI_DEM]

Republican Congressman Roy Blunt still leads Democrat Robin Carnahan in Missouri’s race for the U.S. Senate.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Blunt picking up 52% support, while Carnahan, Missouri’s secretary of state, gets 44% of the vote. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

Two weeks ago, Blunt led Carnahan by a 53% to 43% margin when leaners were included in the totals. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning towards a particular candidate. Rasmussen Reports now considers results with leaners the primary indicator of the race.

1. Washington insider Blunt is ducking debates too.

It's stunning to me that in an election where Washington insider incumbents are being kicked out of their seats, Roy Blunt has the nerve to ask for a promotion to the Senate. Just not the nerve to debate.

2. It's all about turnout. GOTV! nt
