The race to replace Claire McCaskill as state Auditor is also coming down to the wire, according to a new St. Louis Post-Dispatch poll.
Susan Montee 45%
Sandra Thomas 40%
Democrat Susan Montee has a slight lead over Republican Sandra Thomas. But 12% remain undecided in this race. In Southwest Missouri, Thomas leads Montee 47% to 34%, but 18% remain undecided.
This race could ultimately be determined by other races and political factors beyond their control, according to political reporter Jo Mannies:
"But other numbers signal that the contest could be affected by the higher-profile Senate race and Amendment 2.Among those polled, more than a third said they had no opinion of Thomas — and almost as many said the same about Montee.The two did not engage in any televised debates, and their ad buys are far below those for or against the Senate candidates or Amendment 2. As a result, Ali said, "the overall mood of the state voters'' could well determine whether Montee or Thomas wins," write Mannies.
