Minnesota: Obama 52% McCain 38%
rasmussenreports.com
While Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton still struggling for the nomination, both Democrats have gained ground on John McCain in Minnesota. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows that Barack Obama leads McCain by double-digits, 52% to 38%. A month ago, the Democratic frontrunner's lead over McCain was just four points. However, the current results for an Obama-McCain are virtually identical to results from February.
Clinton now leads McCain by five percentage points, 47% to 42%. A month ago, they were essentially even. Two months ago, McCain had a five-point lead over Clinton.
Both Democrats lead McCain by more than twenty points among women. Among men, Obama has a slight edge over McCain while Clinton trails the Republican by sixteen. Both Obama and Clinton attract at least 80% of the Democratic vote in Minnesota. That unity has not been found in most other states or nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
Minnesota has cast its Electoral College Votes for the Democratic candidate in eight straight elections dating back to 1976. That's the longest streak in the nation, but the last couple of Democratic victories have been won with modest marginsâthree percentage points in Election 2004 and two points in Election 2000.

Obviously, this poll reflects Bachmann voters since she stated that McCain was not her choice.
RASMUSSEN : If Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is selected as John McCain's running mate, 30% of Minnesota voters would be more likely to vote for the GOP ticket. Thirty-five percent (35%) would be less likely to do so and 32% say it would have no impact.
Can you say, Governor Molenua ... apparently neither can Minnesotans.
Although Minnesota will be Blue, the Coleman numbers seem out of sync with other polling.
Minnesotans will vote a divided ticket between President and Senate, but Coleman coattails should help Paulsen, Kline and Davis.
