Description
According the latest Minnesota Public Radio News and Humphrey Institute Poll, the extraordinary economic downturn is powerfully impacting Minnesota politics in late September. The astounding 94% of likely voters who believe that the national economy is in poor shape are breaking for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton over his Republican rival Tom Emmer by 10 points. A similar pattern is evident for voters who report that their own household economic situation is in poor shape.
By contrast, Emmer enjoys a 28 point margin (42% to 14%) among voters worried about their family’s future economic conditions. The problem for Emmer is that only 10 percent expect their household situations to worsen over the coming year.
