Via Taegan:

In Missouri’s U.S. Senate race, a new SurveyUSA poll shows Claire McCaskill (D) leading Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO), 51% to 42%.

In the last month, McCaskill has gained eight points on Talent.

Key finding: “Most of the movement in the race comes from Independent voters, who supported Talent by 12 points in September but now support McCaskill by 13 points, a 25-point swing.”
