On March 26th SurveyUSA [link fixed] released a 600 sample poll of adults taken in Missouri from March 20th through the 22nd showing the approval numbers for Senators Claire McCaskill (D) and Kit Bond (r). The margin of error is 4.1%.

The poll was sponsored by KCTV in Kansas City.

Compared to February Claire McCaskill's approval numbers have dropped. There is significant erosion among Democrats and republicans. The approval among Independents remains unchanged (an even split).
