But Missouri voters are more likely to say that McCain made the right choice for vice president. Fifty-three percent (53%) of voters in the Show Me state agree with his decision while 36% disagree. Only 37% believe that, in selecting Biden, Obama made the right choice. Nearly as many�33%--say he did not. The two split Missouri's urban areas, while McCain holds a large lead in the rural parts of the Show Me state. Obama�s biggest issue is with white voters, who support McCain by a 56-35 margin.
�There aren�t enough black voters in Missouri for Barack Obama to win it if he can�t make things more competitive among white voters,� said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. �That�s going to be his challenge if he wants to have any chance at winning the state.�
McCain leads across every age group, and has the advantage with both men and women. Obama will need a good margin of victory with women if he is to take Missouri but for now that�s not coming through.
The news is better for Democrats in the Governor�s race. Jay Nixon leads Republican Kenny Hulshof 48-42. In other statewide races Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder and Secretary of State Robin Carnahan hold double digit leads, while in the open seats for Attorney General and Treasurer Democrat Chris Koster and Republican Brad Lager each hold a narrow advantage.
