Rasmussen: McCain Leads Obama in Missouri


JOHN MCCAIN 50%
BARACK OBAMA 44%
John McCain leads Barack Obama in Missouri, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey. When "leaners" are included in the survey, McCain leads Obama 50% to 44%. When just solid supporters are tabulated, the results changes slightly: McCain 48%, Obama 41%.
The poll of 500 likely voters was taken last Thursday. It has a 4.5% margin of error. This is the third time in the last four months that McCain’s support has been at 47% or 48%. Obama has been in the 41% to 43% range for four straight months.
Here are other highlights from the poll:
  • 55% believe that most reporters are trying to help Obama win in November while 9% believe they are trying to help McCain.
  • 53% believe that reducing the price of gas and oil is more important than protecting the environment.
  • McCain is supported by 93% of Missouri Republicans and enjoys a twenty-three percentage point lead among unaffiliated voters. Obama is supported by 84% of Democrats.
  • McCain is currently viewed favorably by 59% of Missouri voters, Obama by 53%.
  • Fifty-five percent say the U.S. and its allies are now winning the War on Terror.

Oh wow. These people are just so off base.

Its not as if the news media would ever try to editorialize, slant or spike stories in its coverage to promote an agenda, would it?
