Poll: Akin, McCaskill locked in statistical dead heat
KMOV ^

Posted on 10/26/2012 8:10:05 PM PDT by Perdogg

A new poll shows the Missouri Senate race is too close to predict a winner.

The News 4, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Kansas City Star poll shows Senator Claire McCaskill with a 2 percent lead over Congressman Todd Akin, at 45 and 43 percent, respectively.

With a margin of error at plus or minus four points, and eight percent still undecided, the two remain in a statistical dead heat.

Watch News 4 at 10 p.m. for more analysis, and reactions from both campaigns.

If Akin looses, Karl Rove should be ashamed!

Good news. Maybe Akin has had enough time to tough it out, too bad Mourdock’s fubar was so close to the election.

Who are the morons who say “oh well, Akin said something dumb, I guess I have to vote for the socialist”? Seriously?

Mourdock is going to win Indiana. I proudly display his sign in my yard. I did see that CNN headline news has Mourdock’s face up and front on the web site. Nothing about Benghazi Gate.

I sent $50 to Akin yesterday.

He definitely can win this thing. But he needs help from us.

Anyone who can send Akin a few bucks, please do so. He will be a solid conservative vote in the Senate.

If McGastly is at only 45% she isn’t going to win. I just hope Akin is hanging this “flaming tire” $50 million bucks worth of stimulus money McGastly’s hubby got around her neck!

There are a lot of PhonyCon RINOs that need to be ashamed, also. Most of GOP Media and Talk Radio trashed Akin, and kept trying to force him out. Sean Hannity’s whiney interview with Akin sounded like Chrissy Matthews on a Nancy Pelosi high

Yes, nut Mourdock is a known quantity in Indiana, and well liked. While the comment may draw gasps outside of Indiana’s borders, it has no effect on those familiar with him.

Mark Levin had Akin on his show thursday night. Levin has been crucifying McCaskill and tweeting it. The news about McCaskill’s husband even made the papers in St Louis.

We have a tough fight on our hands but it ain’t over till the fat lady sings and I hope Clarabelle is belting out the blues on election eve.

things changed in 2008.....Sarah Palin to her credit inspired lots and lots of people to sit up and take notice of just what was being done to our country....

tea party...

follow up with the 2010 elections, which were HISTORIC....

we're just not going to accept the same old crap from the Washington insiders, Rove at the head of the list for what he did to Christine ODonnell.....

I've sent money to Akin....its worth it to get rid of that crook McCrazy....

NO, if Akin loses, he should be ashamed for being an arrogant ass and saying it is not about him. Another Republican would have a 10-pt lead right now.

Rove should be ashamed anyway. His abandonment of a good man showed bad character.

I only pray that both win their respective elections. The prayer is not for their sakes, or to get any type of vindication, but for the sake of the future of the United States of America. I also pray that all sides of the GOP get together and pull together without acrimony in the great works we have to do over these next years, and indeed that the Dems join in that great work.

I live in St. Charles County outside of St. Louis, I've seen lots of Akin signs which is surprising since he has a limited amount of money to invest in this. He has my vote.

Since Missouri is leaning toward Romney, I think he has a good chance. Hopefully most people will vote a straight Republican ticket.

Considering that a large portion of the media basically spun it to the masses as “Akin said certain types of rape of women are acceptable and should not be considered wrong”, it’s a damn miracle this race, even in Missouri, is this close at all.

Makes me think that is this race is this close, the election will be a blowout and reminiscent of 2010.
