2016 Missouri Presidential GE - Trump 48%, Clinton 39%

29. I live here.

2008 was actually considered a statistical draw for quite a while. Our governor, Jay Nixon, is a Dem. Our Secretary of State, Jason Kander, is a Dem. Our Attorney General, Chris Koster, was a Republican when he was the Cass County Prosecutor but became a Dem when he ran for AG-and took a number of moderate Repubs with him for the vote. He is running for governor in 2016 and is projected to win. We also have a few congresspersons that are Dems and one of our two senators is a Dem.

Most of the comments I hear about Trump might be a bit of cheering on but no one that is a real Republican really seems to want the man. I've heard Huckabee from the conservatives, Paul from the younger ones and Bush from the rest.

It's a strange state and you never know what will happen. I heard a recent local poll asking if anyone but Trump won the nom compared to either Clinton or Sanders that the Dem would actually win, with the biggest boosts coming from KC, St Louis and Columbia. I live in Warrensburg and I know we are planning a big push on the local university campus to get the kids registered and out to vote. (Personally, I think we'd get more students voting if the polls were closer to campus but that's neither here nor there.)
