Survey of 500 likely Missouri voters was conducted August 22, 2012.  The margin of error is +/- 4.5 percentage points.  Results from the poll conducted July 30, 2012 are in square brackets.  Results from the poll conducted June 7, 2012 are in parentheses.  Results from the poll conducted April 17, 2012 are in curly brackets.  Results from the poll conducted March 14-15, 2012 are in square brackets.  Results from the poll conducted November 9, 2011 are in parentheses.
Inside the numbers:

Seventy-one percent (71%) of Missouri voters regard Obama as a liberal, with 43% who think he’s very liberal. Seventy percent (70%) see Romney as a conservative, but just 25% feel he’s very conservative.
