“Fifty-four percent of Missouri voters want Greitens out of office, according to an Emerson College survey. His approval rating has fallen to just 33 percent”
This is confirmation that 33% of Missourians are idiots.
He’s not dragging them down enough.
Greitens needs to keep fighting it out. Don’t resign!
Sometimes ya just gotta love self-immolation!
Claire McCaskill will know how to use this to her advantage. The woman is a fighter and a winner.
The irony of Greitens trying to take out a restraining order on someone else is my favorite part of all this.
Other polls have Claire up by 4-5 points, which is where I think the race is. I think Claire can make a play for a solid mid to high single digit win. Lots of people who have pulled the lever for GOPers have voted for her in the past, so she has crossed that threshold. In an era where red state voters are looking to Dems to protect health care and push the gov’t on education, Claire is in a good spot.
It’ll definitely be tight, and the pro-Greitens group is a rabid bunch around here. They’re also hypocrites, so they have no trouble believing that Greitens is a true conservative rather than a grifter despite being a Democrat only a few years ago, and they have no trouble voting for Hawley despite being outwardly incensed at him and calling him an enemy of the state currently.
Fingers crossed.
I think GOP will lose votes among white women who are Indies and soft GOPers. I don’t think they’ll be able to make that up. McCaskill will have a net positive cross over vote and a margin among Indies. Should be enough for her to win by mid-single digits. If Greitens gate lingers into the fall, then she could win by more.
Exactly, keep bombing the GOP in Missouri and nationally, adding yet another disgraceful loser White Supremacist egomaniac to the GOP rolls. We want as many sex maniac losers in the GOP as possible, and that number seems to be increasing.
Great work, Eric, keep it up!
I’d be really surprised if Greitens is still there in November, but by all means, hang in there as long you can, Eric!
It is still an uphill fight for McCaskill. What she needs is some real party building. She needs the help of lots and lots of women like [Hillary Shields,][1] a progressive democrat who is doing pretty well running for a bright red suburban Kansas City state senate seat. I have decided to find good local candidates. It is races like hers where I am spending my money this year.

Since tomorrow is May 1, that leaves 6 months. At this point, she is in as good a position as might be expected consider MO and her voting record… Lots of stuff will change.
Mnunchin was there to watch another eclipse—that of the Attorney General’s election chances by the shadow of Greiten’s legal problems.
Can we manage a twofer? I’m no Painter-hater, but I hope a real Democrat wins in MN. Can Painter get on the record that Greitens deserves his day in court, and that if Greitens is forced to resign before there is a resolution to this issue, the will of the Mo. voters will have been cheated?
