The latest Survey USA poll shows McCain opening up a 7 point lead in Missouri, which seems to run counter to the bounce present elsewhere. The poll found that the big change occurred in St. Louis. I live in St. Louis, and have a potential explanation. For the past two weeks our TVs have been saturated with ads for McCain, ads that say that John McCain hates war and stood up to the President on global warming (if I didn’t know better I would think that he is the Dem). Despite news reports that Obama is advertising in Missouri, I haven’t seen a single ad. I wonder if this may be an indication that McCain’s efforts to move to the center may be working in this swing state, especially when Obama has nothing up to counter the McCain message.
Anyone in the state of my birth seeing the same thing?
