McCain Continues Missouri Poll Lead
John McCain leads Barack Obama by seven percentage points in the race for Missouri’s Electoral College votes.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Missouri shows McCain attracting 48% of the vote while Obama earns 41%. This is the third time in the last four months that McCain’s support has been at 47% or 48%. The one exception came in early June—McCain’s support dipped as Obama was wrapping up the Democratic Presidential nomination.
Obama has been in the 41% to 43% range for four straight months.
Some experts, including Oklahoma's Keith Gaddie, believe Missouri and Virginia are the keys in the presidential race. Analyzing the Electoral College math in a post on the Democrats of Oklahoma Community Forum, http://www.demookie.com/, Gaddie reviews all the "solid" and "leaning" states for McCain and Obama and concludes, "That leaves Missouri (11) and Virginia (13). Bush won both handily, now they are tossups. McCain needs them both, Obama needs just one. At the end of the day, those two states are the whole ballgame."
