A new poll out this week from Missouri Scout shows the U.S. Senate election in Missouri in a dead heat, with incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill and her Republican challenger, attorney general Josh Hawley, tied at 47 percent support among likely voters, with 6 percent undecided.

Four percent of Democrats and 4 percent of Republicans report being undecided, while 15 percent of non-partisan voters say the same. McCaskill does have a considerable edge among self-identified moderate voters (as opposed to conservatives and liberals), 68 percent of whom support her compared to 25 percent who support Hawley.

In the stateโ€™s larger metropolitan areas of St. Louis and Kansas City, McCaskill โ€” who has held her Senate seat since 2006 โ€” is ahead of Hawley by 12 and 7 percentage points, respectively. Meanwhile, Hawley leads McCaskill by nearly 30 points in both Springfield and Cape Girardeau. In Columbia, the candidates are tied at 47 percent.

McCaskill has yet to indicate whether she plans to vote to confirm President Trumpโ€™s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
