MN Poll: Senate race still blowout, governorship statistical toss-up
According to the poll, Klobuchar hold a 20-point lead over Kennedy. Hatch is only 5-points ahead of Pawlenty, within the margin of error.
Some interesting hits from the poll’s breakdown:
Senate
- By a 2-1 ratio, ads have made voters support Klobuchar over Kennedy. Kennedy’s ad-man Scott Howell has lost his touch.
- Klobuchar wins most age demographics, especially 65 and over, where she leads Kennedy by 38-points. The exception is 35-44 year olds which Kennedy takes by six.
- Kennedy has more support among individuals with an income between $75k - $90k, but Klobuchar has more support among the $100k+ crowd. Who says the rich are anti-Democrat?
Governor
- Pawlenty keeps close to Hatch in the first two education demographics, but college graduates pull more from Pawlenty by a margin of 9-points.
- Economic breakdown is clear in this race. Hatch takes those making under $75k, Pawlenty takes those who make more.
- Hatch wins the health care vote, Pawlenty the tax vote. No surprise.
- Ads have been a bit of a wash in this race. Interesting, all I feel is dirty after watching the negative ads in this race.
This tells us little about the “gaffe” effect in the Governor race, as the majority of respondents were interviewed beforehand.
I’ll link to MNCR’s trend lines as soon as he has them up.
