Disgraced former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens leads the field of Republicans vying for the party’s nomination to succeed retiring Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), according to a new poll from The Hill and Emerson College.
The poll of 1,000 likely GOP primary voters in Missouri found Greitens notching 26 percent support ahead of the Aug. 2 nominating contest. He’s trailed by state Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who has 20 percent support, and Rep. Vicky Hartzler, who scored 16 percent.
No other candidate registered double-digit support in the poll, though more than one-quarter of respondents — 27 percent — say that they are still undecided in the race.
The survey is the latest showing Greitens as the front-runner in the Missouri GOP Senate primary. A poll from KMOV-TV and SurveyUSA released last month found the former governor leading Schmitt by a 9-point margin.
Still, Greitens, who resigned as governor in 2018 amid allegations that he sexually assaulted and blackmailed his hairstylist, remains a divisive figure within the GOP. Senate Republican leaders have privately expressed concern that Greitens could jeopardize the party’s chances of retaining Blunt’s Senate seat if he wins the nomination in August.
