John McCain and Barack Obama are locked in a tight race for president in Missouri and State Treasurer Sarah Steelman is within five points of Democrat Jay Nixon, according to new numbers released in a Public Policy Polling survey.

Here are the numbers:

PRESIDENT

John McCain 47%

Barack Obama 44%

Note: McCain leads 46%-38% among independents

GOVERNOR

Sarah Steelman 39%

Jay Nixon 47%

Kenny Hulshof 37%

Note: Hulshof leads 71%-19% over Nixon among Republicans, but Steelman just leads 63%-22% among the same group. "She does better against Nixon due to stronger support from Democrats and independents, but that won’t necessarily help her get through the primary," writes Tom Jensen
