The Missouri governor's race is shaping up as a tight one, with Democrat Robin Carnahan and Republican Roy Blunt tied at 46 percent each with 5 percent undecided, according to a
Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Sept. 21.
Blunt, currently a senior GOP House member, is seen favorably by 57 percent of voters and unfavorably by 33 percent. Carnahan, the secretary of state, is regarded favorably by 52 percent and unfavorably by 42 percent.
Blunt has the edge among unaffiliated voters, leading Carnahan by eight points.
Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
