John McCain is up 47-44 on Barack Obama, according to Public Policy Polling’s first Missouri poll.Although both candidates are doing a pretty good job of holding onto the support of voters within their own parties, McCain is doing slightly better as he leads among Republicans 85-10 while Obama has the 77-15 edge with Democrats. McCain also leads 46-38 with independents in the state.
“Missouri is likely to be one of the most competitive states in the country this fall,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “We’re finding that more voters in the state are identifying themselves as Democrats than Republicans this year, but the key for Barack Obama will be making sure those folks actually stay with the party in their voting for President.”
