Claire McCaskill Is in Trouble (Poll)
Weekly Staqndard ^ | July 12, 2018 | Andrew Egger

Posted on 07/26/2018 12:57:08 PM PDT by Red Steel

New polling shows Missouri Republican Senate candidate Josh Hawley with a slight lead over Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill in what promises to be one of the country’s tightest and most consequential races.

The new head-to-head survey, which was conducted last week by GOP pollster Remington Research, shows Hawley two points up on McCaskill, 48-46. The poll provides the first glimpse into Missouri voters’ thinking on the race since Republican governor Eric Greitens resigned in May over allegations of sexual misconduct and violations of campaign finance law, bringing an abrupt end to a months-long scandal that was widely seen as a drag on Hawley’s electoral chances.

Hawley, the state’s attorney general, has portrayed McCaskill as an out-of-touch leftist who reflexively opposes President Donald Trump’s agenda and has more in common with coastal elites than with her own Missouri constituents. McCaskill responded with authenticity-based arguments of her own, mocking the Yale-educated Hawley’s “fancy law school” pedigree.

Pres. Trump endorsed Josh Hawley back in November during a trip to KC. Hawley does not seem very aggressive though. And Mother McCaskill has mega-bucks.

Then I see Trump doing a few Missouri rallies in September and October to push Hawley over the top.

This seat should have been won in 2012 if we didn’t have that idiot Todd “legitimate rape” Akin.


People out of MO might be surprised to learn that Claire actually ran ads for Akin during the Republican primary. The “reporter” whose interview got Akin to make his stupid statement is the very liberal Charles Jaco. Akin should never had let himself be within a 100 miles of him, let alone give him an interview. Since Akin was against abortion, he had to be stopped and I’m sure Jaco was happy to be the one to stop him.
