Bush 44%
Kerry 43%
Other 5%
Not Sure 8%

June 2, 2004--In Missouri, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds a race that is too close to call. President George W. Bush attracts 44% of the vote to 43% for Senator John F. Kerry.

Four years ago, Bush won the state of Missouri by a narrow 50% to 47% margin. While there are a few exceptions, most of our state polls this year reflect results similar to those from four years ago. A Rasmussen Reports survey in March found Bush with a 7-point lead in Missouri.

Fifty-four percent (54%) of Missouri voters Approve of the way Bush is performing his job as President. In Missouri, there is a huge gender gap with Bush leading among men and Kerry leading among women. Bush also leads among Investors while Kerry leads among non-Investors.

6. I would advise against that

Gephardt has never run on a statewide ballot. He would only help in the St. Louis area among voters who are probably already in Kerry's camp. Kerry's credentials with organized labor are already solid, making Gephardt unnecessary.

3. I think Mizzou will be closer this year, but I still give the edge to Bush

I think Mizzou will be a Bush victory of a point or two (he won it 51%-47% in 2000).

4. Kerry is in Independence today

Fellow DUers, we neeeeeeeeeed this State, without Gephardt.

7. Missouri will be a close one,

but I think Bush will carry it unless Kerry wins big nationwide. Putting Gephardt on the ticket would hurt our chances, even though I think he's a good guy.

9. It's an internet poll

not at all reliable, unfortunately.

10. I'm no expert on polls, but...

Just because it is done on-line wouldn't automatically make this unreliable. There is a margin of error and they poll a cross-section of people. The methodology

It isn't just open to anyone like the goofy polls on media sites.

11. Oh yes it is

There is a thread a bit lower down about Zogby polls, you can participate in it.

You can also lie about what state you are from, your political party, your age, and so on. Sure, Zogby "corrects" for demographics, but there's not too much reason to believe that those demographics are correct in the first place.

Your participation is also limited only by how many email addresses you have and how soon you get tired of taking the poll.
