Obama is now supported by 95% of Democrats, up from 89% in August. The Democrat also holds a modest lead among unaffiliated voters after splitting that vote with McCain last month. McCain gets the vote from 93% of Republicans, up two points from a month ago and fourteen points since July.

Obama is now viewed favorably by 64% of Minnesota voters, McCain by 52%. That’s quite a change from August when McCain drew the higher ratings. In August, many in Minnesota thought their Governor was a likely Vice Presidential running mate for McCain.

As for the running mates, Delaware Senator Joe Biden is viewed favorably by 55% and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin earns such positive reviews from 47%.

Forty-six percent (46%) say that McCain made the right choice when selecting Palin to be his running mate. Forty-four percent (44%) say the same about Obama’s choice of Biden.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of voters believe Palin is politically conservative while 50% believe Biden is politically liberal.

Minnesota has gone for the Democratic presidential candidates in the last eight elections. John Kerry won the state 51% to 48% over President Bush in 2004.
