A new poll shows U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., holding a small but significant lead over her likely GOP election opponent, Josh Hawley.

Scandal-plagued Republican Gov. Eric Greitens, meanwhile, has retained the support of only about one-third of the Missouri voters, the poll shows.

The poll by Missouri Scout, a nonpartisan political news service, found McCaskill leading Hawley with 48 percent of the vote, to his 44 percent. That 4-point spread is just outside the poll's 3.27 percentage point margin for error.

That's an improvement for McCaskill over a poll last month that showed her with a statistically insignificant 1-point lead over Hawley.

1. Does close polling mean anything 5.5 months before

election? After the 2016 polls, I distrust all polls. Just go out and vote and ignore the polls.
