Perhaps you're expected to take the results of this question to be representative or indicative of that...
QUESTION: If the 2012 general election for Missouris U.S. Senate seat were held today, would you vote for Claire McCaskill, the Democrat, or Todd Akin, the Republican?
.................McCASKILL....AKIN
Democrat ...........89 .............5
Republican .........14 ............79
Independent .......52 ............35
...625 registered Missouri voters interviewed statewide by phone. All stated they were likely to vote in the November general election.
