Poll: McCain Up By 3 In Missouri, Obama Struggles To Capture Dems

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Independents, McCain, Missouri, Polls, Republicans

McCain – 47
Obama – 44

A couple weeks ago it was SurveyUSA that showed McCain up by 7, yesterday it was Rasmussen that showed him up by 5 and today we have a spread of 3 from Public Policy Polling.

The common theme that runs through all 3 of these polls? McCain has Republicans locked up solid, but Obama is still struggling to catch up to get the same level of support among Dems.

Just take a look at the numbers from each of the 3 polls…

SurveyUSA
Republicans for/against McCain – 89/8
Democrats for/against Obama – 76/16

Rasmussen
Republicans for McCain – 93
Democrats for/against Obama – 80

Public Policy Polling
Republicans for/against McCain – 85/10
Democrats for/against Obama – 77/15

Note that the spread is basically right around 13%, and unless Obama can match McCain’s numbers for base support, he simply won’t win Missouri.

More as it develops…

I live in Southern Missouri which granted does not have a ton of Democrats but the ones I talk to were pretty big Clinton supporters and they aren’t too keen on Obama. Some probably never will, others just might stay home. I am curious to see if Obama will come down here, it’s where Bush had one of his largest rallies.

Your next blog about a state that is trending towards McCain since the Democratic primary wrapped up will be your first. Because there aren’t any.

McCain led by 15 about 3 months ago, and now he’s neck and neck. But the need to make this a horse race drives every supposedly nonpartisan to find any negative they can about Obama and his “problems”.
