Public Policy Polling
Obama is leading with every single demographic group that PPP tracks in the state- men, women, young voters, old voters, whites, blacks, etc. Perhaps most notably he has a 55- 37 lead among independent voters, and is pulling twice as much of the Republican vote (12%) as John McCain is of the Democratic vote (6%). The real story in Minnesota is the state�s competitive race for US Senate, which remains tight although with a definite edge for Democratic nominee Al Franken. Franken leads with 45% of the vote, followed by incumbent Norm Coleman with 40%, and independent Dean Barkley with 14%. This race could prove volatile in the closing days of the contest after Coleman�s camp filed a lawsuit against Franken over some of the ads his campaign is running. �A couple months ago it looked like Minnesota might be an important swing state in the race for President but that is no longer the case,� said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. �But Barack Obama�s incredible popularity with the state�s voters may have the secondary effect of putting Al Franken over the top in this incredibly tight Senate race.� Barkley is pulling slightly more support (10%) from Democrats than he is from Republicans (7%). Coleman and Franken are basically knotted among independents, with Barkley close behind.
