Barack Obama, John McCain locked in a virtual tie in Missouri
The St. Louis Post Dispatcher ^ | October 26, 2008 | Jo Mannies

When it comes to the nation's troubled economy, Missouri's likely voters put greater trust in Democrat Barack Obama than Republican John McCain.

That, in a nutshell, appears to be why Obama's standing in this battleground state has improved since last summer — and why, less than two weeks before the Nov. 4 election, Obama is locked in a too-close-to-call presidential contest with McCain, a new poll shows.

"The economy is driving the presidential race, no question about it,'' said Del Ali, head of Research 2000, which conducted the polls in Missouri and Illinois for the Post-Dispatch and KMOV-TV (Channel 4).

Among the 800 likely Missouri voters polled last week, 48 percent backed Obama, while 47 percent favored McCain. Three percent preferred one of three minor-party candidates, and 2 percent were undecided.

Research 2000 is the polling firm that works for Dailt KOS, for what it’s worth.

The rest of the polls are split - some show McCain up and some show Obama. I expect that it’s going to be a late night before Missouri is decided.

McCain will win Missouri. What’s his face will get a lot of votes from St. Louis and KC but it will not be enough to overcome the other parts of the state.

When I traveled the last two weekends to Southern Missouri, after you left KC you couldn’t find an obama sign with a CIA spy satellite.

Translation: Obama is going to lose a key bellweather state. If Obama doesn’t win MO I don’t think he will win VA, OH, or NC either. That leaves him with FL (unlikely IMHO), CO, and NV.

“why are we tied or struggling or losing everywhere we should be ahead?”

Part of it is the mortgage meltdown from last month. Also, it’s possible that some of the polling firms have faulty methodology.

Undecideds will break in our direction. Every state we are tied in or slightly trailing by election days goes for us. That’s how I see it.

I'm prepared to be one of those 48 or 49 % if it comes down to it that will use every ounce of me to resist this SOB if he becomes president....

Maybe this country needs an awakening..maybe the world does...

I think right now, if this country elects this man...then it's a country I don't know...

I'm a stranger in a strange land...because this guy doesn't represent me or the people close to me.... He could be from Mars... all the same..

I've already voted... in Illinois where my vote doesn't really count but I feel good about it..

I can't imaging voting for someone who despises this country..
