Lucas Kunce’s U.S. Senate campaign is pointing to a new poll that shows the Democratic frontrunner — while still trailing incumbent Republican Josh Hawley — within striking distance.
, a political strategy company, says the poll released Tuesday shows that 46% of Missourians likely to vote in the November general election would vote for Hawley, and 42% would choose Kunce.
With an 4.9% margin of error, the poll suggests that a Kunce upset remains a possibility. The poll gleaned its results from the responses of 407 Missourians.
The poll is more certain of Kunce’s chance to win August’s Democratic primary, showing him as the choice of 56% of probable voters, a majority even within the error margin.Â
ºüÀêÊÓƵ County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell pulled out of the primary race against Kunce to run in the U.S. House Democratic primary against incumbent Rep. Cori Bush. Still in the primary race are state Sen. Karla May of ºüÀêÊÓƵ and Columbia activist December Harmon.
