Republican Roy Blunt still leads Democrat Robin Carnahan in the Missouri Senate race, according to the latest Rasmussen survey, which puts his lead at six points. Rep. Blunt — the frontrunner in next Tuesday’s GOP primary and the preferred Republican candidate of Michele Bachmann and Joe the Plumber — leads Carnahan 49%-43% in the general election.
Those numbers are more favorable to Blunt than Rasmussen’s last poll, which showed the Republican up only two points, but they’re comparable to a Mason-Dixon poll from July 21, which showed Blunt ahead 48%-42%.
The TPM Poll Average for the race shows Blunt leading Carnahan 48.1%-43.2%. The margin of error for the latest Rasmussen survey is ±4.0 percentage points.
