A month from Election Day, three themes emerge. First of all, the Constitutional Amendment to increase sales taxes to fund projects in the arts and outdoors faces an uphill battle. Secondly, Democrats enjoy a significant advantage in the battle for state house seats. Lastly, Senator Amy Klobuchar and Governor Tim Pawlenty enjoy strong approval ratings while Senator Coleman continues to receive far weaker ratings. The results are based on interviews with 766 likely voters conducted between September 29th and October 5th. The margin of error is +/-3.6 percentage points. For smaller subgroups the margin of sampling error is larger.enConstitutional Amendmentsales taxesDemocratsReport
