Raising the minimum wage is still very popular with Missouri voters, including Republican voters. New data from Public Policy Polling survey conducted August 7-9: 

67% of voters in the state support increasing the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour, compared to just 28% who want to keep it where it is or get rid of the federal minimum wage all together. 52% of Republicans favor increasing it to at least $10. 

Topline numbers: 

Crossabs here. 

Methodology: Public Policy Polling surveyed 859 voters from August 7th to 9th, including 440 Republican primary voters and 352 Democratic primary voters. The margin of error for the overall survey is
+/-3.3%, for the Republican primary voters it’s +/-4.7%, and for the Democratic primary voters it’s +/-5.2%. 80% of participants responded via the phone, while 20% of respondents who did not have landlines conducted the survey over the internet.
