Public Policy Polling: Blunt 46, Carnahan 41

Just posted to the Public Policy Polling blog: "The Missouri Senate race is getting closer, with Robin Carnahan pulling within 5 points of Roy Blunt in a new PPP poll conducted for her campaign. Blunt's lead is 46-41, in contrast with the 45-38 advantage he had when we last took a look at the race in August."

In August, "a similar poll showed Carnahan trailing by seven points."

PPP attributes "the increased competitiveness of the race" to two factors:

1. "As is happening across the country Democratic voters are getting more interested in this year's election as the big day comes closer," and
2. "Roy Blunt's support from Democrats has decreased since August, while Robin Carnahan's support from Republicans has seen a slight increase."
