A new Public Policy Polling survey finds Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) leading Sec. of State Robin Carnahan (D) by 4 points in the open Senate seat race in Missouri. While the race remains extremely close, PPP reports that the unpopularity of health care reform (54% oppose) in the state has helped push Blunt out in front.

“The Missouri Senate race has very little to do with Roy Blunt or Robin Carnahan and everything to do with Barack Obama right now,” said PPP president Dean Debnam. “If his numbers don't improve it will be very hard for Carnahan to win.”

Blunt 45
Carnhan 41
Und 13

The survey was conducted March 27-28 of 495 RV with a MoE of +/- 4.4%.
