Less than one week out, new poll shows Greitens up for first time
Source: Missouri Times
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – In a new Missouri Times poll released Wednesday, Republicans, including Republican gubernatorial nominee Eric Greitens are up. Donald Trump is up over Hillary Clinton by 12 points in the race for the White House, while Senator Roy Blunt is up 4 points over Secretary of State Jason Kander for U.S. Senate.
In a small-sample Monmouth University poll released Tuesday, the U.S. Senate race remained tight. Incumbent Roy Blunt held a 47% to 46% lead over Kander. Another 2% say they will vote for Libertarian Jonathan Dine. Blunt held a 48% to 43% lead over Kander in August, which narrowed to a 46% to 44% edge in mid-October. In terms of straight-ticket voting, the same poll showed Kander holds onto more Clinton supporters (90%) than Blunt is of Trump voters (79%). In October, Kander got the vote of 82% of Clinton backers while Blunt kept 80% of Trump voters.
The gubernatorial race, which has been mostly consistently close in internal and external polls throughout the cycle, Wednesday showed Greitens over Democrat Chris Koster. Previously, Greitens has been shown within the margin of error but not up over the Attorney General in Missouri Times polling conducted by Remington Research.
“Coattails, coattails, coattails,” said Remington Research’s Titus Bond. “Republicans across the country have been running away from Donald Trump. In Missouri, they are running towards him with open arms. Looking at this data you can definitely see why. As goes Trump will go the ticket in Missouri. If Trump wins by more than ten it will be a clean sweep for Republicans in Missouri.”

they don't mention Remington Research is GOP pollster, not real good news for Poppy Blunt with just a slight lead, Kander could actually be riding on Dumpf's coattails
