New poll in Missouri Senate race reveals dead heat

We knew the Missouri Senate race would be tight, but this open seat battle is shaping up to be one for the record books.
In a new survey by Public Policy Polling, EMILY's List candidate Secretary of State Robin Carnahan is running neck and neck with likely GOP nominee Cong. Roy Blunt. In the poll, Carnahan edged out Blunt with 43% of the vote, only one percent above Blunt's 42%. The poll's margin of error was ±3.6%. In the last PPP Missouri Senate poll -- conducted in January -- Carnahan led Blunt 45%-44%, showing this race will undoubtedly be close until the very end.
We're gearing up to make sure Robin has the resources she needs to communicate with and mobilize Missouri voters. We are encouraged that Carnahan's favorability ratings remain high.
Accordingto Dean Debnam of PPP, "If Robin Carnahan had faced off against Roy Blunt in any election year between 1996 and 2008, she would likely have won, given her superior popularity... But 2010 has the potential to be an extremely good year for Republicans, and that's made this race highly competitive."
This one will stay competitive all the way through Election Day.
