According to a statewide poll in Missouri (Democracy Corps), Democrats may have the edge in the 2010 US Senate Race: "The closest state during the 2008 presidential election, Missouri
shows early signs of opportunity for Democrats to pick up the senate
seat currently held by Republican Kit Bond. [The survey] shows Secretary of State
Robin Carnahan leading Republican Congressman Roy Blunt 53 to 44
percent and leading former Treasurer Sarah Steelman 54 to 42 percent. At this early and uncertain stage, Carnahan starts off the contest
with a strong personal and professional standing that puts her in a
position to defeat either potential opponent. At the same time, it
appears as if Steelman may be the tougher foe with a stronger profile
than Blunt and the potential to run a fresh outsider candidacy that
Blunt cannot offer."
