Despite widespread assertions that Missouri Republican Rep. W. Todd Akin's abortion remarks have made him a heavy underdog in the state's U.S. Senate race, a Democratic-leaning polling firm released a poll Thursday showing him in a virtual dead heat with incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
According to the survey by Public Policy Polling, Mrs. McCaskill has support from 45 percent of likely Missouri voters compared with 44 percent for Mr. Akin...

You seem to be forgetting that the democrats want him to stay in the race. Such is the art of war.
There are a lot of people that like the underdog and will see Akin as one. They also vote their political parties but don’t care for the party elites Dem or Repub, and thus why there are so many self-described independents in the electorate in Missouri. The GOPe did the unthinkable — it woke up a sleeping Missouri mule and it will kick them senseless before it will be ridden by them.
Never doubt the corruption of the leftists, especially in St. Louis county. Remember a few years back, when polling stations in heavily dem areas were illegally held open? How the dem machine went to a federal judge with an afadavit stating that the lines were too long and needed more time to vote. And then it turned out that the man who signed that affidavit was dead. And later, it turned out that more votes were cast than there were registered voters?
The legacy of Pendergast lives in St Louis, KC, and Boone county (Columbia, MO). The rest of the state votes conservative!

How will you know if they are unbiased or not -- by the results???
A poll from Family Research Council says he's leading because they want him to stay in.
And being the pessimistic Republicans we are, we assume the Democrats know what they are doing and the conservatives don't. I see.
Huh. Are you 0kay?
Whoever the Republican candidate is they will have to contend with and overcome election fraud, getting rid of Akin will not prevent this. I sent my RNC money to Akin.
I’m doing just fine, thank you.
But I don’t think that’s what you’re getting at. If you’re concerned about my loyalty to the willard campaign, then don’t worry: I have none. In a race between two anti-gun pro-abortion candidates, I don’t have much of a dog in the fight. I’ll vote SECOND party and let the chips fall where they may.
Rah! Rah! hear hear!
Two great posts in a row, fellas! Keep em coming, Gals.
But Missourians must make a choice between Todd and Claire.
Barry and Democratic Party elite in Washington instructs Missourians to vote for Claire.
Team Mittens and the GOPe tells Todd to step down.
The MSM elites on both MSNBC and Faux News went hysterical against Todd.
They say a man may be judged by the quality of his enemies.
Todd united the three greatest inside the beltway east coast elites against him.
Missourians do not take instructions from Barry, Team Mittens, nor the MSM elite.
A vote for Todd is vote against Barry, Team Mittens and the MSM. Missourians will not pass up a threefer one like that.
Have a nioce day.
The only polls with Akin viable are from two entities who want him in: FRC and the Dems (via PPP).
Akin will pull ahead. He made an incredibly stupid, boneheaded blunder that voters will forget come election day, only because his opponent is so obviously even more unsuited for the job than he is.
