On November 20th SurveyUSA released a 600 sample poll taken in Missouri from November 9th through the 11th which shows the approval ratings for Senator Claire McCaskill (D) and Senator Kit Bond (r). The margin of error is 4.1%.
The poll was sponsored by KCTV in Kansas City.
Kit Bond is not doing so well.

Interesting. Not much change from October’s numbers for republicans and Democrats, but those self identified Independents are not happy campers.

Lions and tigers and bears (plus a few mules), oh my! There’s serious erosion in republican and Democratic numbers for the podium pounder. Maybe this is an indication that even a long history of applying liberal quantities of pork won’t be able to save the damaged republican brand. Curiously, the Independent numbers haven’t changed much.
