Impressive considering his not so great approval ratings these days. Then again, the fact that his closest race is with Mark Dayton...eh...
Gee, could it be that these polls are only showing name recognition now? No that can't be...
Mark Dayton, a former U.S. Senator who only recently left office, is polling so low because he has low name recognition? Gee, that can't be...
I'm explaining why Dayton polls the best. Also shows that the rest of the polls with the other candidates mean little. I mean even I have never heard of two of these people (Marty and Thisser)
Rybak's numbers are pretty impressive considering only about a quarter or so of the state is familiar with him. I hope he does run.
Correct on both paragraphs (I think I could get behind Rybak). And Marty is the DFL Senate Majority Leader, IIRC.
From Wikipedia, Marty's a DFL State Senator who epic failed against Arne Carlson in 1994, Thissen's in the House. They're both announced candidates, which is why I suspect they were polled.
