On August 17th SurveyUSA released a 600 sample poll taken in Missouri from August 10th through the 12th which shows that “baby” Blunt does not have a stellar approval rating. The margin of error is 4.1%.
The poll was sponsored by KCTV in Kansas City.

When compared with the July 20 SurveyUSA poll, there’s been a wee bit of slippage which has come from republicans [some] and Independents [more]. Blunt’s numbers among Democrats, while abysmal and much better than duby’s, remain unchanged:
