Gallup/USA Today: Talent Up By 6

USA Today kicks off this Labor Day weekend with an article noting how Democrats are poised to pick up some key U.S. Senate seats, but includes a poll that has more good news for Senator Jim Talent.

"As the Labor Day weekend launches a final nine weeks of campaigning, USA TODAY/Gallup Polls in five key states show Democrats poised to gain Senate seats but facing an uphill battle to regain control," writes Susan Page and Jill Lawrence in the lede.

While the story notes that Republicans trail in races in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Montana . . . Missouri seems to be a rare bright spot for the G.O.P.

"In Missouri, Sen. Jim Talent held a 6-point lead among likely voters over Democrat Claire McCaskill. The two were tied among registered voters."
