Minnesota Public Radio News Humphrey Institute Poll
Obama�s surge after last week�s events results from two general factors. First, the financial crisis and the culmination of congressional action increased the perception that Obama would do a better job handling the problems in the investment banking industry. Before October 2nd, the evaluations of the Obama�s and McCain�s handling of the investment banking problems were comparable � the Democrat held a narrow 4 point margin. In the days after October 2nd, however, Obama opened up a substantial 14 point advantage � 52 percent to 38 percent. Vin Weber and other prominent Republicans warned that the opposition by House Republicans would �tarnish� the brand of the Republican Party for managing the economy and boost the Democratic Party�s reputation. Indeed, the dramatic events in Washington and other developments widened the gap between Minnesotans identifying with the Democratic Party as compared to the Republican Party from a 10 point margin to a 15 point margin.
