Minnesota Moves to Obama Column


The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports the results of its latest poll this morning:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has opened up a commanding lead in Minnesota over Republican John McCain, according to a new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll.

The poll, conducted last week among 1,084 voters, found that 55 percent support Obama, while 37 percent back McCain.

That's a huge difference from the last Minnesota Poll, conducted in September, which showed the race dead even, with each candidate backed by 45 percent of likely voters.

It's still a month until election day, and if it can move strongly in one direction, it can move strongly in the other. But this is very good news. According to this morning's NY Times, McCain has spent seven times what Obama has on Minnesota.
