Poll shows Carnahan, Blunt in dead heat

They call Missouri the "Show-Me State" for a reason. We knew the battle for the Senate between two major political names would be a tough one in this truly purple state, and the voters of Missouri are showing us exactly how challenging it's going to be.
In a recent Rasmussen poll, EMILY's List candidate (and current Secretary of State) Robin Carnahan garnered 46% of the vote among poll participants -- and her opponent, GOP Cong. Roy Blunt, received exactly the same percentage. Calling the results "uncommonly close," Rasmussen showed this race will come down to the wire. And while Carnahan shows strong favorability among Democrats and a lead among women voters, Blunt has his own lead among GOPers and men. Elections in Missouri have been won and lost by a handful of votes, and both parties will be reaching out to one essential group: swing voters.
With polls this tight, Robin doesn't have time to spare. She'll be hard at work contacting voters and getting her message out across the state -- and we'll be right there with her, making sure she has the resources to come out on top.
