In Missouri, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows President Bush with 50% of the vote and Senator Kerry with 46%. Four years ago, Bush won the state of Missouri by a narrow 50% to 47% margin.

One month ago, our polling found the President with an identical four-point lead and the state was included in our "Toss-Up" category. A mid-month update provided for our Premium Members showed the President's lead increasing to six points in Missouri. Based upon that data, we moved the state to "Leans Bush." Now, with a 4-point margin, we are shifting the state back to "Toss-Up" in our Electoral College projections.

Two months ago, Bush was up by a single point in Missouri, 44% to 43%.

In Missouri, Bush is currently favored by 86% of conservatives while Kerry is favored by 86% of liberals.

In Missouri, 57% of all voters Approve of the way President Bush is performing his job. That's up four points from a month ago and well above his national Job Approval rating.

Data for Missouri will be updated again early next month.
