P-D Poll: Voters Favor Stem Cells, Minimum Wage Hike

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has new numbers on Missouri's two ballot initiatives.

Here is Jo Mannies' lede:

"Missouri voters still strongly support the idea of protecting stem-cell research, although a new poll indicates that supporters' numbers have declined as opponents become more vocal. But support remains solid for a proposal on the Nov. 7 ballot to increase the minimum wage in Missouri. And opposition appears to have dropped for the state's new law requiring a government-issued photo ID for people who show up at the polls."

Stem Cell Research:
Voters support it 58%-37%; In the Ozarks, they favor banning it 54%-41%

Minimum Wage Hike
Voters support it 68%-20%: In the Ozarks, they favor the hike 54%-28%
