| Josh Hawley Takes Lead Over Claire McCaskill After She Announces Opposition to Kavanaugh |
| 2018-10-01 |
| [Breitbart] A new poll released by The Missouri Scout on Saturday shows that Republican challenger Josh Hawley has taken a two point lead over Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) in the Missouri Senate race just days after she announced she will be voting against the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Hawley leads McCaskill by a margin of 48 percent to 46 percent in the poll conducted by Missouri Scout over two days, from Wednesday, September 26 to Thursday, September 27. McCaskill announced her opposition to Kavanaugh on September 19. The second day of the poll was conducted on the same day Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused him of attempting to sexually assault her 36 years ago at a time and place she cannot recall and with no corroborating witnesses or evidence, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The poll of 1,555 likely voters in Missouri has a 2.5 percent margin of error. Significantly, the poll found that 49 percent of likely voters said the Supreme Court confirmation process for Brett Kavanaugh has made them less likely to vote for McCaskill, while only 42 percent said it made them more likely to vote for her. |

| #2 I think the Rasmussan daily tracking poll shows more people favor Kavanaugh than oppose. Poll is typically a three day tracking so it'd still have pre-Thursday data in the last one I saw. |

| #1 IMO there a lot of people who oppose the Sen. Dem. assault on Kavanaugh. If it could happen to Kavanaugh, it could happen to anyone the left deems an enemy. |
