Poll Shows Obama In Command In Minnesota

A new SurveyUSA poll shows President Barack Obama with a comfortable lead over Mitt Romney in Minnesota.

Among registered voters, Obama leads the presumptive Republican nominee 52 percent to 38 percent. The poll’s margin of error is 4.4 percentage points. It was commissioned by KSTP-TV in Minneapolis.

Once thought of as a battleground state, Minnesota has not voted for a Republican presidential nominee since 1972. Obama won the state four years ago over Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) by ten percentage points. The TPM Poll Average of the presidential race in Minnesota currently shows the president with a comparably wide lead.

2. That sounds about right for MN.

Now, we have to get a large turnout to dump the Republican control over our legislature. That's the most important thing here.

3. Hoping turnout is high, to turn the state leg and give one particular congressman the boot.

4. The republican party of MN is a complete MESS right now. This is good news for the President and the

DFL, although the Vikings stadium may come back to haunt Rybeck et al. I know I'm feeling rather betrayed by that right now. Though conversely the republicans are a debt ridden, sex scandal laden sinking ship. It's a wonder to behold.
