1. Wow great news!

Go show me state!

[ThirdWayToTheHighway]

10. You call this great news?

You've got another thing coming in November if Hillary wins the nom...

[Blue_Adept]

16. I think you're missing something

Here's 2012:

Mitt Romney
1,482,440
53.76%

Barack Obama
1,223,796
44.38%

Obama LOST the state by 9 points. She's AHEAD by 2 right now.

So yes, that's VERY GOOD news.

edited to add, Obama's results were the SAME as Kerry's in 04:

17. Needs a more convincing lead than that

For me to be impressed. That is not a good place to be this many months out. Hillary and positive trend lines over time have yet to be a thing.

[Blue_Adept]

18. Oh give me a freakin' break

Dems CONSISTENTLY lose this state by about ten points year after year.

Yet here we have a poll that has a small margin of error lead and you come back with that?

That's what I hate about the Democratic base. A bunch of fekking pessimists and doom and gloom types.

"It ain't my guy, so I'm gonna shit over everything no matter how good it might actually be."

19. need to watch out

Missouri enacted a new voter id law which threatens to disenfranchise 220,000 voters probably just because they knew it was a possibility.

[Blue_Adept]

21. Very true

I'm not discounting election fraud and all that comes with it.

Merely talking about the polling and comparisons to years past where we never saw this kind of competitiveness. And it's not because Hillary is a great candidate, it's because Trump is a terrible candidate.

20. Are you seriously

this ignorant about MO? The con usually wins by 10%. The desperation for any (supposed) bad news for Hillary smells pretty freeking rancid.

[Renew Deal]

25. When was the last time a Democrat won MO?

And the time before that?

[MFM008]

27. you are a troll

go away.

[Demsrule86]

11. Good news

I think we may get states we don't usually. I have hope for Georgia.

[ViseGrip]

2. too close, she'll lose it. on the other hand, sanders could win that state from trump.

hillary will be trounced by trump in MO.

[firebrand80]

4. O'Malley could win it over Jindal

but since neither one of them will be in the contest, it really doesn't matter

[Rebkeh]

8. Exactly nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. O'Malley could win it over Christie

O'Malley could win it over Christie but since neither one of them will be in the contest, it really doesn't matter

[Demsrule86]

12. Sanders can't even win a primary

so no he would not win squat. When will you all face the fact, Sanders will not be the nominee.

[leftynyc]

23. Bernie couldn't even win

the primary. I swear the desperation of Bernie supporters is making some of you say the craziest freeking things.

[DCBob]

5. Red state... would be remarkable if MO was competitive.

[reddread]

6. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


nice place.


hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha

7. Oh geez, no.

I can tell you that this lovely state is going to go for Trump. I am 99.99% sure of it. The only way it might barely squeak blue is if Bernie is on the ticket.

If Missouri was geographically split north/south like it is culturally, it might be more interesting - still would have to be Bernie though.

StL, KC and surrounding counties may go blue but there's no way the state goes blue. Especially not with the Ozarks in play.

[Demsrule86]

13. Bernie is not on the ticket

and if he were, would lose big...Ohio, Florida and maybe even PA...they will swiftboat him even worse than Kerry. But he won't be the candidate and thus, we have a chance.

[Rebkeh]

14. Bernie might still be on the ticket

Implausible? Maybe. But it's still possible with so many variables.

I agree he'd have a hard go of it in MO, but his odds are still better than hers.

[firebrand80]

15. Why do polls?

we should just ask one person in each state what they think

[PeaceNikki]

22. Seems legit.... IF that one person is a DUer, natch.

[leftynyc]

24. Why couldn't he win

the Democratic primary?

[CentralCoaster]

26. Missouri: Bernie 48, Trump 38

I'll take Bernie, thank you very much.

You can have Hillary and her swanky friends.
