This week states began the process of sending out mail-in balance to voters throughout the country. This year voters in 12 states will elect a new governor, including in Missouri, where Mike Parsons is running to earn a full four-year term. Parsons has led his Democratic rival, state-honored or Nicole Galloway in the polls. But according to Dory University, Professor of Political Science, Dr. Dan Ponder, there is a pathway for victory for the only Democrat to hold state-wide office in Missouri. I think there's a path to victory for Galloway, but it's narrowing, especially when you're closer and the polling. I think the closest that I've seen was a poll from late June that had parsing up by two. Another question is, what kind of effect the presidential race will have on the governor's race in Missouri? President Trump won the state by 19 points in 2016, but according to polling by the website 535.com on Tuesday, it showed Trump leading vice-president Joe Biden by about 6.4%. The election takes place on Tuesday, November 3rd.
