More bad news for Claire from the Democrat polling firm Public Policy Polling:
One thing’s for sure: Missouri is one of the states where Obama’s personal standing has seen the greatest decline since 2008.

His unpopularity there goes a long way toward explaining Roy Blunt’s unexpectedly decisive victory over Robin Carnahan, as well as Ike Skelton’s somewhat shocking loss for reelection. That 43/52 spread for Obama may be the biggest threat to Claire McCaskill’s prospects for a second term, maybe more even than her own numbers….Obama’s approval numbers in Missouri are such that if Republicans run a competent candidate against him he should lose by a greater margin than in 2008.

I would ask, why do we switch people when we know the new one is going to be worse? no matter who the party is.
