Net gain of 4 for McCaskill since Remington's last poll in October.

It does seem that whatever 'Kavanaugh Bump' there was here has faded.

Remington underestimated Trump's margin in 2016

Undecideds will break for Hawley and they are likely overestimating McCaskill's performance...Hawley will win by +7

Actually, it is true that Remington has a Democratic bias. According to FiveThirtyEight's pollster rankings, Remington has overestimated Democrats by an average of 1.1% relative to historical election results.

At least for their adjusted polls average, they're saying Remington is biased against Democrats to the tune of... 4.5 points. So they're saying this poll is McCaskill +4.5.

Not that I'm really putting much faith in their adjustments versus the simple average.

I dunno why people suddenly seem so optimistic about McCaskill. She could still easily lose... this poll only has it tied, she is not even ahead.
It's at least an improvement from where she was. But yeah. This still isn't her race to lose or anything.
