Public Policy Polling (PDF) (3/6-9, "usual Missouri Republican primary voters," no trendlines):
Sarah Steelman (R): 31
Todd Akin (R): 24
Ed Martin (R): 9
Ann Wagner (R): 2
Undecided/other: 34
Sarah Steelman (R): 37
Ed Martin (R): 18
Ann Wagner (R): 11
Undecided/other: 34
(MoE: ±4.9%)
I don't have much to say here except that the primary vote share (either with or without Akin) almost perfectly correlates with how well known these candidates are - as in, a correlation of 1. Put another way, if you add each person's "don't know" share on the favorable/unfavorable question to their vote share on the horserace question, you get just about the same number for all candidates. This says to me that Ed Martin has a lot of work to do to get his name out there, and that Todd Akin (who has only just now ramped up to "considering" status) should not be scared off by Sarah Steelman's early lead.
And just for fun:
Mike Huckabee (R): 29
Newt Gingrich (R): 19
Sarah Palin (R): 14
Mitt Romney (R): 13
Ron Paul (R): 7
Mitch Daniels (R): 4
Tim Pawlenty (R): 3
Haley Barbour (R): 2
Other/undecided: 10
(MoE: ±4.9%)
