Date: 1/30-2/1
Missouri
Est. MoE = 4.7%
John McCain 37%
Mike Huckabee 27%
Mitt Romney 24%
Ron Paul 1%
Unsure 11%

Quote:

McCain has a solid lead among security and economy voters, and splits the evangelical vote with Huckabee.

Moral and family issues top the agenda for Republican primary voters here — the only one where they did — and those voters go for Huckabee by a big margin.

"Huckabee is a factor here," said Coker. "He's the former governor of a state that's geographically and politically similar. Southwest Missouri and northeast Arkansas are very similar." That helps McCain, Coker said, because "Huckabee will hold Romney's vote down."
