New Missouri poll (3/7-9): Biden up +39 !!

Biden: 68%
Sanders: 29%

Looks like a major blowout in the works in the Show-Me state.

NOTE: Optimus is a C/D rated pollster on 538. Although I think they have this one about right.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

The percentages add up to 107% and the difference between the two candidates is 29% instead of 39%.
