Missouri Post-Dispatch Poll: McCain 47, Obama 46, "Obama might have edged ahead."

That's the upshot of a new Post-Dispatch/KMOV-TV poll of 800 likely Missouri voters conducted this week by Maryland-based Research 2000.

The uncertainty over the nation's economy appears to be helping Democrat Barack Obama in the state. The poll showed Republican John McCain with a one-point edge, 47 percent to 46 percent for Obama. A week earlier, a similar Research 2000 poll showed McCain held a 4 percentage point lead.

This week's poll, like the earlier one, has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points for each number. That means McCain might have a larger lead, or Obama might have edged ahead.

"It's now essentially tied," said pollster Del Ali, head of Research 2000.

3. Great News

RAS has Obama leading 50 to 47 In Missouri.As I have been saying all year don't call Missouri a
Solid Republican state.From 1992 to 2000 Democrats won most of the state races.Even In 2000 when
Bush won only Blunt was the only other Statewide Republican to win.And may I remind people In
St Louis City some were not allowed to vote.Obama can take Missouri.

4. A happy email from one of our grassroots group members:

"Fox put out a new poll in Missouri, and Obama has taken the lead. They paired up with Rasmussen, last month McCain was up by 5, now Obama up by 3. That is an 8 point swing. The Polls are very encouraging, and I know it is our great volunteers, organizing communities. Just keep on with what we are doing, and we will have elected the best US President in History! Ask off work November 4. I am doing a rally sometime at the end of the month, and going to a watch party as I am sure they will be all over the place on the 4th. Everyone, just keep praying!!!!! God Bless you all!"
