Poll: Blunt Hurts Blunt, Nixon Still strong

A newly released PPP Poll says that Roy Blunt's chances at the US Senate are facing an uphill battle. No, not due to his ties to Abramoff and some of the most corrupt politicians in history. He is hurt due to his son, Former Governor Matt Blunt.

29% of Missourians said positive things about Matt Blunt as Governor. Yikes.

On the other hand, Governor Nixon still remains one of only 3 Governors in the nation to continue to get favorable support of their electorate. That says tremendous things about the job he is doing in office.

Inheriting a state like Missouri during these times is a task few could handle. We at the KC Blue Blog believe the Governor has had to make bold decisions in the face of economic struggles across the nation. All of this while dealing with a hyper partisan Missouri House of Representatives and a wildcard Missouri Senate.

This should bring good news to Democrats across Missouri. Few in this nation have a Governor with strong support.
