In Minnesota, Klobuchar Re-Elected:
Incumbent U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar today defeats possible Republican challengers Joe Arwood and Dan Severson 2:1, largely unchanged from a SurveyUSA tracking poll 90 days ago. Cell-phone respondents and home-phone respondents included in this research: SurveyUSA interviewed 600 Minnesota adults 01/31/12 through 02/02/12. Of the adults, 542 were registered to vote. This research was conducted using blended sample, mixed mode. Respondents reachable on a home telephone (78% of registered voters) were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents unreachable on a home telephone (22% of registered voters) were shown a visual questionnaire on their smartphone, tablet, laptop or other electronic device. |
 | Minnesota will also elect a United States Senator in November. If the only two candidates were DFL candidate Amy Klobuchar and Republican candidate Joe Arwood, who would you vote for? |
