Koster seems to have a pretty consistent lead in polling. The Republican primary did a number to Greitens and the unusually poor presidential toplines are not helping either.

I believe Koster leading, but definitely not by this much.

Tremendous! Of the AZ, GA, MO reach states I think Clinton should think hard about investing here. Getting a huge turnout in St. Louis would be very helpful in the senate and gov races.

Koster will probably win! I am so happy for that.

The thing about Missouri is, for a Democrat to win statewide, it is not so much about getting turn out in Kansas City and St. Louis up. It is more about how many outstate votes the Democrat can get. Missouri is full of center-right voters. That explains the GOP dominance of the legislature and congressional delegation, but also explains why Democrats have not been completely shut out in a state that is Demographically perfect for Republicans.

I drive through rural Missouri, and there is nothing more beautiful than seeing Chris Koster signs on farm after farm also hosting signs for local Republican candidates.

The Presidential numbers and the U.S Senate numbers are pretty consistent with other polls from Missouri.  I don't think this is off.

What's Koster's big appeal to the farm vote.  Was he born on a tractor?

I know he used to be a republican. That may matter to some people.

I buy it, actually. That I'm voting for Koster over Greitens as the right-wing monster that I am says it all.

Thank you!!! Smiley

Yes I think Koster has a good lead in MO. I think Trump has a very tiny lead in MO.. and I think Blunt has a size-able but very fickle lead. Senate race could be competitive with more resources put in.

Eh, I don't care about that race. They're both pretty terrible.

Why?

I'm quite sympathetic to the labor movement and I don't want to see right-to-work passed here. A Democratic governor is the only thing stopping the GOP legislature from doing that. Also, I'd rather not hand over my state to Eric Greitens for the next 4-8 years so he can use it as a springboard for his inevitable presidential bid.

It could be a bit inflated, since this poll only had Trump up by 1, but it Koster is overperforming Hillary by 12, I like his chances.

It's not the next Arkansas yet. I'm not sure when the republicans start dominating everything, but it's probably less than ten years away.

The big difference between Missouri and Arkansas though, is that Missouri has two major urban centers keeping it a lean/likely R state at the presidential level in neutral years, and giving statewide Democrats a chance. Rural whites will inevitably continue to trend R, but that's somewhat offset by St. Louis and Kansas City.
