BAM! McCaskill 48, Akin 38

Well here's a nice little poll on the Missouri Senate race from our "friends" over at Rasmussen:

Claire McCaskill: 48
Todd Akin: 38

Undecided: many

This poll was taken yesterday, August 22. Here's a link to RCP where the poll is listed.

The Rasmussen report is apparently subscriber only.

remember- ras' polls are all fake

therefore, ras and the boys want Akin out, so they release polls showing him behind

How convienient it is.
I hope Akin stays in the race, and is not forced out.

McCaskill will win that way

Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill cast doubt Thursday on a new poll that gave her a 10-point lead over Republican Rep. Todd Akin.

Rasmussen poll made me laugh out loud. If anyone believes that, I just turned 29. Sneaky stuff. bit.ly/SscVZf
