2018 Missouri Midterm Elections

U.S. Senate:

The incumbent: Claire McCaskill (Democrat), seeking a third six-year term, first elected to the Senate in 2006.

The challenger: Josh Hawley (Republican), the state’s current attorney general.

Politics: Democrat Bill Clinton carried Missouri in the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections, but the state has gone to the Republican nominee in every White House race since then. Donald Trump carried the state by 19 points over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Republicans hold most of the state’s top offices, but Governor Mike Greitens resigned in June of this year as the result largely of a sex scandal.

Missouri’s other U.S. senator is Roy Blunt, a Republican.

Republicans hold six of the state’s eight seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Democrats have two.

There is no gubernatorial race in Missouri in 2018..

Sponsorship contributions to the Rasmussen Reports Citizen-Source project will cover direct and indirect polling and reporting costs for up to four separate polling cycles for each of the designated battleground states. There will be no profits charged or accepted by Rasmussen Reports on this project. Rasmussen Reports will remain solely responsible for all polling matters including timing, questions, fielding, tabulations and reporting. Overall project contributions will be capped so as not to over-raise funds we cannot use specifically on project polling and reporting costs. This undertaking is solely about getting independent unaffiliated battleground state polling data out and into the hands of voters.
