Missouri Senate Poll: All GOP candidates lead McCaskill in hypotheical matchup

According a new poll by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Missouri’s incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) trails all of her potential Republican opponents.

The poll of 625 registered Missouri voters suggests a key source of McCaskill’s problems is her support of President Barack Obama. The Democratic president — who almost won Missouri in 2008, and once considered the state a 2012 tossup — now has a 51 percent negative rating here and a 9-point deficit against Republican challenger Mitt Romney, according to the poll.
