A new poll on the eve of the Missouri Democratic presidential primary shows the race too close to call.

Public Policy Polling said Monday the race stands at 47-46 percent with Bernie Sanders holding the slight advantage over Hillary Clinton.

Among Democrats, Clinton hold a more commanding 56-39 percent edge, the pollster said.

But Missouri’s primary Tuesday is open, meaning that any Missourian can vote in it, including independents.

Sanders fares far better among that group of voters, leading by a sizable 62-23 percent, PPP said.

Among Republicans, Sanders led 66-23 percent.

So who’s leading heading into Tuesday? Flip that coin in your pocket.

PPP also gauged two other states. Clinton led in Ohio by 46-41 percent and in Illinois by 48-45 percent. But both are also open primary states, making those states tough to call as well.
