PPP got a 53/47 male/female split...in 2008 NYT's exit polls showed a 54/46 split in favor of females

[Secretary Polnut]

No way more men than women are voting in MO, that said, I think the headline numbers are probably OK.

I agree that the male/female numbers are off, but I think that - if anything - this poll is underestimating Romney. I have a feeling that Obama will be hard-pressed to keep this state within 8-10 points because he's really weak in the Ozarks. The whole of Appalachia is so against Obama that I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up underperforming his numbers among Democrats in the region, especially in WV, MO, AR, TN and KY. Perhaps this is one of the reasons Obama's national numbers continue to be low compared to some of the state polling.
