RESIZE: AAA

The first poll since Rep. Akin has been nominated as the GOP nominee to challenge Senator Claire McCaskill has been released by SurveyUSA.

Political Wire  News

He leads by 11 POINTS! And as evidence that this poll is not GOP tilted, Mitt Romney leads by a slimer margin over President Obama.

Here’s the full report:

http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=ee08561c-b5c6-45c1-b62b-be0abddcfb85

In the nationally watched race for U.S. Senator, which could help determine whether Republicans control the Senate, conservative Republican challenger Todd Akin is 11 points atop incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill, 51% to 40%. Akin leads 7:1 among Tea party members. McCaskill holds 80% of the Democratic base, compared to Akin, who holds 91% of the Republican base. Independents favor the Republican by 16 points. Akin leads materially among the less educated; McCaskill ties Akin among college graduates. Akin leads among rich and poor voters. Akin, who is a U.S. Congressman from suburban St. Louis, manages to come within 5 points of McCaskill in the Democratic stronghold of greater St. Louis. Elsewhere in the state, the Republican leads. McCaskill has a 10-point advantage among the youngest voters, but Akin leads among voters age 35+.

The fact that Todd Akin is leading among independents, young voters, and the middle class should be worrisome to Senator McCaskill (D) who should be leading in these areas…but they know what she does not (at least she does not act like she knows it): President Obama and the Democrats’ plans are NOT WORKING!

Fellow Republicans at the Red Racing Horses says, “SUSA: Todd Akin (R) 51, Claire McCaskill (D-inc) 40. Unless there’s polling to the contrary soon, McCaskill appears well on her way to the title of “Blanche Lincoln of 2012.” She runs 4 points behind Obama, who is surprisingly only down by 1.”

I like the title given to Air Claire: “Blanche Lincoln of 2012″.  Help Todd Akin at: http://www.akin.org/  to make this a reality. Together, we can take our country back!

    by running those ads proclaiming Akin ‘most conservative’. Like they say: “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.”

    1 point lead… hmm.

  • commonsenseobserver

    We’ll have to see more polls. Perhaps Team Mitt/Paul should beef up their efforts there, and grassroots Conservatives should step up their efforts. There’s no reason why Obama should be doing 10 points better than Air Claire in Missouri.

    (The sample seems in line with past polls that showed a tie there as well)

    but I do think that it is good news that Todd Akin is already having a huge lead.

    How McCaskill has held the job so long with no real message is a miracle.
    There is a Conservative tide sweeping away candidates without a message.

    and not another Blunt. He better be scoring in the high 80s to 90s like Demint and not a 63% like Blunt.

    But at least both of them will be better than McCaskill who scores a 12% in a conservative state. :)

    Who will be the next “Blanche Lincoln of 2014″? I think Landrieu could be defeated by somebody like Governor Jindal.

    akin was the first choice of the tea party and will be the next senator from missouri.

    during the primaries. Looks like I have hit 100% in the congressional primary races. I will continue to contribute to Cruz, Akin, Murdock etc but not to Romney.
