Missouri Poll: Trump: 44% HRC: 42%

A Remington Research Group poll of the presidential and statewide races in Missouri commissioned by Missouri Scout shows close battles throughout the ballot—with the exception of incumbent Sen. Roy Blunt, a Republican, leading Secretary of State Jason Kander, a Democrat, by seven percentage points in the U.S. Senate race.

While GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump trails Democrat Hillary Clinton in several national polls, he leads her 44-42 percent in Missouri. Libertarian Gary Johnson received 5 percent in the survey and Green Party candidate Jill Stein was at 2 percent. Seven percent of those contacted remained undecided.

In the race for U.S. Senate, Blunt leads Kander 47-40 percent with 7 percent of respondents remaining undecided. Libertarian candidate Jonathan Dine and Fred Ryman of the Constitution Party received 4 and 2 percent, respectively.

About 1,280 likely voters participated in the survey, conducted August 5 and 6. Remington weighted the survey to match expected demographic turnout in the 2016 general election—with a margin of error at +/- 3 percent—but the research group warns that the margin of error within specific demographics is “significantly higher due to smaller sample size.”
