KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A new poll released after the Aug. 8 primary shows incumbent U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D – Missouri) in a tie with Republican Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley.
The poll, conducted Aug. 8-9 by Missouri Scout, shows the race tied, which is in line with a series of polls conducted in the race since this spring.
Both candidates received 47 percent of the vote, with six percent of those polled saying they were undecided.
The poll also asked respondents their thoughts on amending the state constitution to permit the use of medical marijuana, with 54 percent of respondents approving.
Roughly 60 percent of respondents also said the state should increase its minimum wage to $8.60 per hour, with a stair-step increase of $0.85 per year to $12 per hour by 2023.
The poll was conducted by TJP Strategies, a Democratic consulting firm, on behalf of Missouri Scout, with 1,785 likely 2018 general election votes and a sampling error margin of plus or minus 2.3 percentage points.
He hired a big time campaign advisor. The guys name is TODD AKIN...... knows about public speaking.
Trump should fly in and rally the black vote.
The race is tied my ass! How many of my Missouri (KC) friends didn’t bother to answer yet another poll? If McCaskill is tied she is toast.. Bye, Bye love!
Wait until the Donald drops by for a chat. That ought to strengthen Mr. Hawley’s spine just a notch, ya think?
This is one of the races I’m watching most closely. I REALLY hope to get McCaskill out of there.
Hopefully he doesn’t even have a hairdresser.
Well let’s hope her’s didling his barber.
he’s not diddling his barber
Claire was one of the first ones to come out for Obama. She deserves to lose bigly!

Yup. Considering the amount of violence Repubs and conservatives face, there is no way, no how I am telling a perfect stranger, in person or over the phone, that I am voting for the Republican.
I’m sure there are plenty of others (including registered Dems) saying the same thing.

Ruh roh. McCaskill is in deep trouble, IMO.
The “rats” always include questions on pot legalization so they can push the goal to get as many youngsters out to vote for their “freedom” to be stoned at school, at work and avoid punishment driving “impaired!”
McCaskill is such a tool. Great to get rid of her.
Thanks for your opinion Mr Carpetbagger.
McCaskill knows she’s done....
I’ve seen some typically awful ads saying that the Republican wants to keep sick people from getting health care. Unfortunately, there are too many ignorant people who fall for this kind of crap.
In a state with leftard inclinations, such as medicinal mary jane and raising the minimum wage, it is doubly bad for an incumbent Dem.
Well let’s see if I believe this fake poll: Hmmm Trump won Missouri by 18 points Air Clare is unpopular 4.1 GDP Black approval at 31%, Dems generic poll lead gone so No sorry try again.
