ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Two polls released earlier this week indicate Donald Trump has opened up a sizable lead in Missouri against Hillary Clinton.

An Emerson poll of 650 likely voters found Donald Trump is up 15 points, 52-38. A Monmouth poll saw similar results, Trump up 52-38.

Both polls were conducted between October 28-31.

In the Emerson poll, Jason Kander and Roy Blunt are polling even at 45-45, with similar results in the Monmouth poll, which shows Blunt up just one point.

1. Big surprise…

While the state may occasionally flirt with going blue, Rush Limbaugh's Birthplace is usually a safe bet to go Republican in the end.

4. I don't expect Dumpf do any better than Mittens (almost 10%) in 2012

Blunt-Kander has been a dead heat for weeks, Gov race is tightening

6. Never thought this would go blue

It's like discussing a Delaware poll. No reason.

ALL the red states blue.

7. He ahead by 15 in Alabama ,too,,,,, WTF?

8. What about Kander?

That race is going to be close.

That Remington Repub poll is most likely bull nonsense.

11. it's been a dead heat for weeks

really needs a GOTV effort in STL and KC, but it looks like there will be a lot of ticket splitters

[pstokely]

13. not really good news for Poppy Blunt in that poll

Kander could actually be riding on the "outsider" of Dumpf

[vdogg]

12. We were always down in Missouri

Is this supposed to be news?

[pstokely]

14. the question how does Dumpf affect downballot races?
