The Show Me State went to Republican candidates in the last four presidential elections.

Hillary Clinton is essentially tied with Donald Trump in red-tinted Missouri, according to a new poll.

Clinton garners 43 percent support to Trump’s 44 percent among likely Missouri voters in a Monmouth University poll that has a margin of error of 4.9 percent.

While the survey is strikingly bad news for Trump ― Missouri went for the Republican in each of the past four presidential contests ― it’s just one survey. Others show Trump ahead, and HuffPost Pollster tracking shows the conspiracy theorist-in-chief maintaining his advantage in the state.

Kudos to the headline writer.

1. I cannot believe this.

[7962]

10. why? He's probably gonna lose 40 states!

or you think she would be higher?

[CurtEastPoint]

11. She should be ahead everywhere but I'm a Pollyanna, I guess!

2. All in all good news, considering the state has leaned Rethug since 2000.

Dubya won it by 3.3% in 2000 and 7.2% in '04; Obama nearly clinched it in '08 (lost by 0.1%), but then lost it by 9.4% the last time.

Given that trend, a tie sounds good.

12. The state house

is majority Repub., so I'm surprised his numbers aren't higher.

3. Not too bad.

I saw a map of where Southern Baptists live, and I was amazed that there's so many of them in Missouri. If Clinton is tied there, it bodes well for elsewhere.

4. and

and whats your point... this state went republican last 4 elections......so its going Rep. As much as we want Hillary to win every state and every electoral college vote, she is not.... we want her to win the big states, Missouri is 10 votes.

7. The point is that even one poll that shows them statistically tied is a very good thing

for a very red state.

[rtracey]

16. yes

yes I will give that, but lets not panic, when a red state is leaning red.......

5. How is that sad?

If HRC is even close in redneck Missouri then this election will not be close.

6. It is satire

read the article

[pnwmom]

8. The headline writer is mocking Trump's tweets, which often disparage people

with the word "sad."

[LiberalFighter]

9. I wouldn't lose my head over this.

[left-of-center2012]

13. Sad for who?

They're tied in a red state.

[pnwmom]

14. The headline writer is being ironic. Trump loves to say things are sad. n/t

[Hassin Bin Sober]

15. Oh well, you tried.

[left-of-center2012]

17. Then this is HUGE! n/t

[pnwmom]

18. It IS! To get a tie in a very red state is YUUUGE!

19. "Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xeno

"Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S....

20. Originally Huff Post announced that they would only be covering Trump as entertainment,

not as a serious political candidate.

But when they had no choice, they started adding that disclaimer.
