from Rasmussen Reports....Wednesday, March 26, 2008
John McCain has opened a significant lead over both potential Democratic opponents in the state of Missouri. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds John McCain leading Hillary Clinton by nine percentage points, 50% to 41%. He leads Barack Obama by an even larger margin, 53% to 38%.
Those figure reflect a major gain for the presumptive Republican nominee over the past month. In February, he was essentially even with both Democrats in Missouri. Since that time, however, McCain wrapped up the Republican nomination and the two Democrats have been locked in a tight contest that has gotten nastier by the day. National polling shows similar trends and McCain leads both Democrats in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
Trust me when I say that this is big. The widening national numbers are translating to widening State numbers. How big is Missouri? It hasn't failed to go to the National winner in more than 50 years! With Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and, now Missouri moving toward McCain, a plausible mathematical path to victory for the Dems is rapidly vanishing.
