You are right. Good grief...Missouri “leans democratic?” Take a look at the county Presidential voting maps. Kansas City and St. Louis proper are solid Democrat, but the suburbs have plenty of Republicans. I’m in Columbia and while any loon associated with MU typically leans left, there are plenty of Republicans here,too...hell, I think Bush won Boone County in 2004. These idiots at Gallup are clueless.
This has the very strong scent of BS.
And progressive liberal democrat fear.
In this case, their fears are justified. People out here in flyover country are frightened by what they see in Washington, and ANGRY that Washington refuses to listen to them.
