Post by: Tender Branson on May 14, 2012, 03:28:23 AM
In a general election for President today, if the only two candidates on the ballot were Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, who would you vote for?

52-38 Obama

Do you approve or disapprove of the job Mark Dayton is doing as Governor?

56-33 Approve

President Obama says that same-sex couples should be able to get married. Do you agree with the president? Or disagree?

52-42 Agree

...

Cell-phone and home-phone respondents included in this research: SurvyUSA inteviewed 600 state of MN adults 05/09/12 and 05/10/12.

Interesting. SurveyUSA has historically shown a GOP bias in Minnesota, so this is good news.

52-42 Agree

I fear 52% agree with the President is not sufficient to translate to 50.1% No on the DOMA amendment.

52-42 is good news, but true you should probably count the other 48% as all opponents.

;D One can certainly hope.  Wonderful to see that split - and I think it's exactly in line with Minnesota's political alignment to blame the mess on the Republicans in the legislature.  I can't wait to see what Dayton will do with the second half of his term.

It seems to me like Minnesota is always pretty good in presidential years, but usually a real stinker in the midterms.
