Quote:

Clinton leads Obama and Edwards among women, older Minnesotans, and those concerned about Iraq and that the country is heading in the wrong direction. Clinton and Obama enjoy large leads over Republican rivals in head-to-head pairings. The economy and jobs is the dominant concern of Minnesotans as well as Democrats and Republicans.

Women in the Democratic Party are rallying to Clinton who receives 50 percent of their support compared to 23 percent for Obama. The Illinois Senator decisively trails Clinton among white Democrats but leads among non-whites, 54-31, who make up only 15 percent of Minnesotan Democrats and therefore are not sufficiently represented in our sample to draw firm conclusions.
