MO Sen Poll: Blunt Takes First Lead
The bellwether Show Me State may have another indication of the shifting political wins. Secretary of State Robin Carnahan (D) has held a consistent but narrow lead over Rep. Roy Blunt (R) in the state's Senate race. But a new Rasmussen survey (1/19, 500 LVs, MoE +/- 4.5%) shows that Blunt has now jumped out to a 6-point lead.
