Emerson is not the best poll, but here is the link.

I do think Kander has a slight advantage in this race. Kander is underperforming internals I have seen in this poll, and Trump is overperforming internals. Trump will win MO but with a little less then 50%.

No, Missouri needs two conservative Democratic Senators Wulfric. We must have the blue dog Democrats back, but in a less socially conservative way. Even without gerrymandering, the House of Representatives is tough for Democrats, due to natural packing. Plus there are more Republican states then Democratic states, so the Senate we are also at a disadvantage.

Democrats need some blue dogs..

I disagree DavidB.

Blue Dog days are not over, they will just be adjusted. Instead of being socially conservative, they will just be more pragmatic. It is important that Democrats have a "blue dog" wing, as even without gerrymandering, Democrats still have a lot of vote sinks. Plus, the US Senate is sort of structured against Democrats.

Also, DavidB, if you look at Hillary and Trump favorability ratings, both candidates are unpopular in Missouri. Trump just leads because it is a GOP State.
