PPP Poll shows Akin's polling numbers UNCHANGED due to rape comments. Missourians don't care, why do we?

Claire McCaskill (D-inc): 43 (44)

Todd Akin ®: 44 (45)

Undecided: 13 (11)

...

The overall numbers in the race have moved very little. When we polled in May McCaskill was getting only 8% of the Republican vote, and even with the controversy around Akin she's only pushed up to 10% of it. GOP voters dislike McCaskill so much they're not going to vote for her no matter what their nominee does. Independent voters haven't moved at all either. In May they supported Akin 45-41, and even though they don't like him on tonight's poll we still found him leading 45-41 with them.

Because the mantra of the tax returns doesn't seem to get any traction.

That's designed to motivate the base and it is working.
