Sen. Jim Talent is holding a small lead over Democratic challenger Claire McCaskill, as this hotly contested battleground race enters the final week and a half.
Sen. Jim Talent 48%
Claire McCaskill 46%
Talent leads by just 2 percentage points, according to a new Rasmussen poll of 500 likely voters on October 25th. It still remains a toss-up for Rasmussen, but with "leaners," Talent hits the 50% mark.
"When leaners are added into the equation, Talent still leads McCaskill by two (50% to 48%). This is the first time that either candidate has reached the magic 50% level of voter support," reports Rasmussen.
"In an election where every vote will count, 44% say they're "certain" to vote for Talent, 4% probably will but aren't certain and 2% are leaning his way. Forty percent (40%) are sure they'll vote for McCaskill, 6% say they're likely to vote for her and 1% are leading in her direction."
