You’ve hit the nail in the head!

Voters are smart enough to not answer these liberal driven pollsters or if they do, lie!

Another factor playing strong in the polls is the fact that most are calls to home phones where if many smart voters no longer pay for landlines, or with caller id, ignore calls from anyone they chose not to speak to!

It will be interesting to see how McCaskill votes on the confirmation of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. If she votes against confirmation, she will have no chance of picking up any Republican votes. If she votes for confirmation, her democrat base will stay home.

Since she has no chance of picking up Republicans either way, I am betting she will vote against confirmation in a craven attempt to motivate her democrat base to come out and vote.

The old don’t bother to vote trick. One might think they’d have learned from all their losses by now, but if you don’t succeed try, try again seems to be their motto.

The Prez needs to go out there and hold a rally for this guy. It’s very effective.

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.

It's not going to get any better. McCaskill is a master at these kinds of tactics.

Let’s not take chances. Josh Hawley needs to be at least +5 by election day. There could be a lot of undiscovered ballots in the wreckage of Mel Carnahan’s plane waiting to be cast.

Ma McCaskill has raised nearly $60 million in her political career. Has $6.7 million csh on hand. Her next Hollywood fund raiser is sure to draw in ton$ more $$. Unions love her. They were both successful in voting down RTW law last week and now will work together to make sure mother gets re-elected. The nature of the beast.

Josh may actually be ahead by 5 pts. The honesty in this poll may be non-existent. Needless, get out and vote you Mules!

Dems election officials are already stashing boxes of ballots in trunks of cars, sacks of ballots in dark corners of warehouses and in desk drawers. They’re ready to recount until the Dem has won.

[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.]

Well, O.K. Gotta be factual.

Screw that, I answer that I am a Republican and a strong one.

I’ve seen two McCaskill ads. One is how she grew up a poor girl, whose family had to move several times. She also brags how she’s a real listener who isn’t afraid to hold town halls in areas hostile to her. The other is nothing but a blast-Hawley ad, how ruled against ‘health care’ on the side of ‘the big insurance companies’. Refers to him as a ‘golden boy’.

The Haley ad is a ‘tough on crime’ ad. Carefully showing criminals—rapists (white criminals with lots of tattoos) being locked away. I live in a conservative part of the state so I don’t have a feel for the mood in the big cities.

A Dem polling firm? I guess they oversample Dems, so I bet she is behind...

Indeed. She recently declared in a speech that DC needs to be made a state because their residents don’t have the right to vote for President - something they’ve in fact had since the 1960s.
