Poll: Obama Would Defeat Pawlenty and Bachmann in Minnesota

A Survey/USA poll released earlier this week shows that former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, who announced his candidacy nearly two weeks ago, and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, the Tea Party darling who is expected to declare her candidacy later this month in Iowa, would both fail to carry their home state against President Obama in 2012.

The poll, which was conducted on May 24 — the day after Pawlenty officially tossed his hat in the ring — gave Obama a 48-to-43 percent margin over the former governor.

The poll of 552 registered Minnesota voters, released on Tuesday, also gave the president an overwhelming 57 percent of the vote against Bachmann, who polled only 32 percent in the survey.

President Obama carried traditionally-blue Minnesota by more than 10 percentage points against Sen. John McCain in 2008.

  4. Polls are nonsense because the evil spirit only works on the children of disobedience.
    Excluding christians, sampling is accurate because those people are all under the evil spirit – so they think alike.
