On the Trail: The 12 burning questions of Missouri's unpredictable election
http://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/trail-12-burning-questions-missouris-unpredictable-election"What will be the margin of Trump’s Missouri victory?
It wasn’t too long ago when the battle for Missouri’s presidential electoral votes was fiercely contested. Both political parties would dump trucks full of money and send boatloads of staffers to the Show Me State, because Missourians traditionally voted for the person who won the presidential contest.
That isn’t the case anymore. Since Democrats no longer need Missouri to win the White House, the national party made rather minimal investments here. That all but assures that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump will prevail in Missouri.
So the question then is Trump's margin? Will it mirror the last few election cycles where the winner won Missouri by single digits? Or will Trump win bigly, emerging victorious by 10, 12 or even 15 percentage points?"
