Good news, as this is a Republican pollster.

March 11, 2006--Our latest survey of the race for Missouri Senate shows State Auditor Claire McCaskill (D) leading Senator Jim Talent (R) 43% to 40%.

Beginning with this survey, Rasmussen Reports will release data for a three-poll rolling average on our state election polls. Used in conjunction with individual survey results, this tool will help determine whether shifting poll results are due to changes in the race or are merely statistical noise.

The Missouri race remains hotly competitive, with our three-poll rolling average showing a 43% to 43% tie. During those 3 polls, McCaskill and Talent each had one survey result above the average, one below the average, and one matching the average. The previous three-poll rolling average showed the candidates tied at 45%.

All indicators point to a race that may remain close right up to Election Day.

Talent is another prowar fascist that should be defeated!

6. This is encouraging news. I hope the numbers continue to go Claire's way.

I would most definitely NOT miss Jim Talent.

8. As I've always said about Talent....

He's the Eddie Haskell of the U.S. Senate.
