It's Too Close to Call in MO
By Antonio D. French
According to a new poll from SurveyUSA, the contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is now too close to call in Missouri.
The poll shows Hillary Clinton at 48% with a slight lead over Obama at 44%, but that's within the margin of error (3.9%).
There is a clear age difference among supporters of the two Democrats. 61% of 18-34 year-olds support Obama while 61% of voters over the age of 61 support Clinton.
Obama has the support of 76% of blacks, 38% of whites, and 57% of Hispanics in Missouri. Clinton is supported by 54% of whites, 17% of blacks, and 41% of Hispanics.
As for party affiliation, Obama continues to attract moderate Republicans and Independents. Among the Republicans planning to vote Democratic, 60% support Obama (compared to Clinton's 30%). Meanwhile, 55% of Independents support Obama.
Among Democrats, 52% support Clinton and 41% support Obama.
Election Day is Tuesday.

Rasmussen Reports' MO poll isn't as rosy as SUSA, giving Clinton a 9-point lead (47-38), but it still reflects a surge for Obama: a week ago RR reported a difference of 19 points.
Everybody should get out and vote Tuesday. The primaries are voters' only real shot at making a meaningful choice, instead of just settling for the choices that others have made for them. Both parties' primaries are fluid enough that your vote really will be meaningful.
