"Rasmussen is an independent pollster which is generally considered to lean conservative in its polls. Its latest Senate poll in Missouri is similar to a Post-Dispatch poll shortly after the controversial remark was first publicized, that had McCaskill up in the race by 9 points, after she had previously been trailing.

Rasmussen also found GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney beating President Barack Obama in Missouri by 11 points, 54-43 percent. Both presidential campaigns early on abandoned Missouri, a previous battleground state, on the assumption that Romney has it sewn up this year.

The Rasmussen poll sampled 500 likely Missouri voters Oct. 17, and has a margin for error of plus or minus 4.5 points."
