Poll: Walz up 7 over Jensen in (Minnesota) governor’s race

DFL Gov. Tim Walz is ahead of Republican challenger Scott Jensen by seven percentage points with less than two months to go in their race, according to a new MPR News/Star Tribune/KARE 11 Minnesota Poll that also shows a majority approves of the incumbent’s job performance.

 The Walz lead over Jensen stands at 48 to 41 percent.

Ten percent told the Mason Dixon Polling and Strategy firm that they hadn’t made up their minds and a tiny fraction said they would opt for a third-party candidate.

It gives Jensen, a doctor and former state senator, room to catch Walz if he can convince virtually all of the undecideds to come his way.

The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points in the poll of 800 registered voters conducted September 12-14.

-----------

Not good for the Dems. This is registered, not likely voters, which tends to favor Dems. In a state like MN Walz should be up double that with this kind of poll.

It's only a 3.5% swing, and the margin of error is the same, meaning they could be as close as tied.

It's Minnesota, Vulcan.

The brass ring always looks close, but is missed 99.5% of the time.

Especially as Minneapolis topples into Mogadishu, MN is a "lost state" to the Pubbies.

Yes, but this is a continued pattern of Dems in Blue states only being up by single digits many weeks before the election.

It spells trouble for Dems.

Minnesota voters have an affinity for malaise and incompetence.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Unfortunately Minneapolis dominates as it's the only population center.

Otherwise MN is beet red.
