| Republicans Gain Late Ground in Minnesota, But Not Enough to Depose Incumbent Democrats Franken, Dayton:
The 2 top-of-ticket contests on the ballot in Minnesota in 2014 tighten materially as Election Day approaches, but not so much as to call into question the outcome. In this, SurveyUSA's 4th and final look at the contests, with 96-hours remaining until votes are counted:
* Incumbent Governor Mark Dayton's once double-digit lead has been halved; he now leads Republican Jeff Johnson 47% to 42%. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll 2 weeks ago, Franken is down 2 points, McFadden is up 2 points. Franken had led by 15 points, now leads by 11. Among independents, Franken had led by 19 points, now is tied, a 19-point right turn. Minnesota job approvals follow:
* President Barack Obama, 40%. Minnesota voters split on whether they would vote for a Republican or a Democrat for the US House of Representatives. 44% vote for a Democrat. 43% vote for a Republican. Largely unchanged, poll-on-poll. Minnesota voters also split on whether they would vote for a Republican or a Democrat for the Minnesota House of Representatives. 44% say Democrat, 43% say Republican. Two weeks ago, it was 46% Democrat, 42% Republican. Cell-phone and home-phone respondents included in this research: SurveyUSA interviewed 700 state of MN adults 10/27/14 through 10/30/14. Of the adults, 647 were registered to vote. Of the registered, 597 were determined by SurveyUSA to have already returned a ballot, or to be certain to do so before the 11/04/14. This research was conducted using blended sample, mixed-mode. Respondents reachable on a home telephone (76% of likely voters) were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents not reachable on a home telephone (24% of likely voters) were shown a questionnaire on their smartphone, tablet or other electronic device. |
