Trump's Electoral Map Is Crumbling As Biden Pushes Deep Red Missouri Into Toss-Up Territory

https://www.politicususa.com/2020/05/28/trump-electoral-map-is-crumbling-as-biden-pushes-deep-red-missouri-into-toss-up-territory.html


In 2016, Donald Trump carried Missouri by about 20 points over Hillary Clinton. It’s a state that hasn’t been on anybody’s radar in terms of 2020 battlegrounds.

Still, a new poll of Missouri released on Thursday shows Joe Biden pulling into a virtual tie with the president, 48 percent for Trump and 44 percent for the former VP.

Trump’s narrow lead over Biden is within the poll’s 4.4 percent margin of error. Not to mention, five percent of Missouri likely voters are still undecided.

We Ask America, the pollster, notes that Biden’s relative strength in the red state is driven by Democratic unity and heavy support among Independent voters.

From that pollster:

In the presidential race, President Donald Trump holds a narrow lead over former Vice President Joe Biden. 48% of likely voters plan to vote for Trump, while Biden is getting 44%. 3% say they would vote for somebody else and 5% remain undecided. President Trump is receiving 90% of support from Republicans while Vice President Biden is getting 92% of Democrats. Among Independents, Biden holds a 47-29% lead. This is driven largely by a thirty-one-point lead (58%-27%) with Independent Women.
