A new Rasmussen poll of the Missouri Senate race finds Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO) with a 13-point lead over Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, 54%-41%.
The latest survey shows Blunt’s largest lead in recent months’ polling. The Republican had an 11-point advantage, 51%-40%, prior to leaners’ preferred candidate being fleshed out with a follow-up question, after which Blunt’s lead widened to 13 points. An August 10 Rasmussen survey had Blunt ahead by a slimmer seven points, 50%-43%. Rasmussen’s late-July poll of the contest produced a six-point lead for the Republican, 49%-43%. All three surveys have a margin of error of ±4.0 percentage points.
The TPM Poll Average finds Blunt leading the race, 49.9%-42.8%.
