Claire McCaskill polls show a tight race with Josh Hawley.
The recent polls in Claire McCaskill’s race against Josh Hawley to retain her U.S. Senate seat in Missouri show a tight race, with Hawley leading McCaskill in two of three recent polls. Two recent polls showed that opposition to Brett Kavanaugh might be hurting McCaskill with some Missouri voters.
Hawley now leads in the RealClearPolitics polling average by 0.3 percent, making the race one of the closest in the country. “Neither Josh Hawley nor Claire McCaskill has had a lead of more than four points in a single poll for the entire year, placing this race well within the margin of error.

Some have attributed Hawley’s surge to the controversies over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and McCaskill’s position on Kavanaugh’s nomination. Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual misconduct by three women, all claims he denies. The people named by those women as witnessing various incidents have all said they have no recollection of it or even of being at such parties, however. Hawley is the Missouri attorney general. McCaskill was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006. Other issues have also dominated the race, such as health care.
