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 2% undecided will go for McCain. McCain WINS!
Anyone that believes Senator Obama will win Missouri please email me, I have a bridge and some Colorado coastal land to sell you.
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.
He's not going to win the election!!!!!!
sw
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.
why are we tied or struggling or losing everywhere we should be ahead?
the only Dem state we are hot on is PA
Post it!
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.
Because the media wants you to believe it so...
Just wanted to say thanks. Your positive outlook is appreciated.

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..
So Mr. no experience is trusted more on the economy?Really?Thats a laugh.
