A new SurveyUSA poll shows President Barack Obama with a comfortable lead over Mitt Romney in Minnesota.
Among registered voters, Obama leads the presumptive Republican nominee 52 percent to 38 percent. The poll’s margin of error is 4.4 percentage points. It was commissioned by KSTP-TV in Minneapolis.
Once thought of as a battleground state, Minnesota has not voted for a Republican presidential nominee since 1972. Obama won the state four years ago over Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) by ten percentage points. The TPM Poll Average of the presidential race in Minnesota currently shows the president with a comparably wide lead.
