Just two weeks ago, Obama held a seven-point lead in the state. The latest poll marks the highest level of support the Democrat has received since tracking of the race began in February.Obama holds the lead among unaffiliated voters, 54% to 42%. In the last survey, the candidates were nearly tied. The Democrat leads by over twenty percentage points among women and holds a 51% to 43% among men.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) are convinced Obama will win their state, while just 21% think that of McCain.
Obama is viewed favorably by 60% and unfavorably by 39% of voters in Minnesota. McCain’s ratings are 51% favorable, 48% unfavorable.
When it comes to the struggling economy, voters in Minnesota trust Obama more to handle current problems by a 54% to 42% margin. That could be partly due to the fact that 50% of voters in the state agree with Obama’s idea that spreading the wealth around is good for everybody, while 35% disagree.
