The sampling method used in this scenario is **3) stratified sampling**.
In stratified sampling, the population is divided into subgroups (in this case, counties), and random samples are taken from each of these subgroups. By surveying 50 people from each of Missouri's counties, the poll ensures that all counties are represented, which is characteristic of stratified sampling.
