Blunt Could Face Serious Challenge from Nixon
If Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt (R) were up for election today, a St. Louis Post-Dispatch poll “indicates he’d be in danger of being replaced by his announced Democratic rival, Attorney General Jay Nixon.”“The poll showed Nixon with an eight-percentage-point edge over Blunt - 51 percent to 43 percent - which was just outside the margin of error rate of 3.5 percentage points for each number. But a sampling of those who backed Nixon indicated that his support hinged largely on dissatisfaction with Blunt.”
