New Minnesota Poll: Romney 46%, 0bama 45%
NMB Research conducted a statewide survey of 500 likely voters in Minnesota from October 30-31, 2012. Twenty percent (20%) of the interviews were conducted with cell phone respondents. The margin of error for the survey is plus or minus 4.38 percent in 95 out of 100 cases.

“Romney seems to only have leads in polls done by republican pollsters.”
Perhaps you’re not following the Washington Post/ABC polls? Even Reuters is vomiting up some R&R strength in their polls.
best post of the day!
Obama only leads in polls that assume historic Democrat turn out.
Do you not understand that even if Romney doesn't win Minnesota, that it is getting this close in a blue state, it is a horrible bellwether for 0bama? He was +10 here in 2008. No time for Eyeores with storm clouds over their heads.
Here’s what I don’t understand regarding many of these swing state polls... Romney leads with independents - that’s almost universally true. GOP leads in enthusiasm - that too is almost universally true. Yet, somehow, they show Obama leading. This could only be true if the samples skew high Democrat...
It just doesn’t make sense to me.
Nothing could make the serpent look better.. urp.. I just have to get this off my chest.. What is wrong with Mary Matalin, how could any woman..%@%!$ you know what I mean? YIKES!
Noob!
Just kidding FRiend. I too am looking forward to celebrating here Tues evening.
Good luck to you in your endeavors.
Whoever you were in your former life, I probably knew ye. Welcome home FRiend.
I’ve not looked at WaPo/ABC polls. i’ll look them up. Thanks.
That one I could never understand! I could see mushy-middle, not really political sorts marrying, but Mary Matalin with James Carville!? It’s a mystery for the ages. Must be some Sado Masochistic thing...never mind. :)
Myself, I couldn’t imagine being married to a liberal. My husband was apolitical when I met him, lo so many years ago. He’s as conservative as I am, if not more so, these days.

I second that! Maybe it's old age crankiness setting in, but I'm getting increasingly annoyed by these Internet hipster terms that suddenly become terribly fashionable and get bandied about by everyone and his brother.
And let's add "epic fail" (blecccch!) and "optics" (as in "the optics aren't good" for a particular candidate) while we're at it.

and “narrative”.
24/7, sweet, can't wrap my arms around it, awesome, unexpected, some are saying...
True, and that makes me also think that he will find a way to deal with that ol' coot Harry Reid . . . if he has to.
I was worried until I read Michael Barone`s predictions, now I am encouraged and set for victory
seriously, obama only got 4 thousand?
I;ve not seen the news this weekend or been looking on the internet but if this is the case then how did the media report the two rallies please?
I am always skeptical of any polling that shows MN as swinging to the GOP in the presidential race. I have been so often disappointed.
However.........tomorrow Bill Clinton is flying into St Cloud for a rally for Obama and Biden. Now, if you look at a map of Minnesota, you will find St Cloud located just a bit south of the center of the state. So, it makes no sense for Clinton to be here except to gather MN votes for the Dems. We are not close to either Wisconsin or to Iowa. So, the Dems seem to be corroborating the polls that are indicating MN is in play!!!
How I would love it for MN to go GOP this year. This would be an earthquake.
Woo Hoo. Go Mitt and Paul! We have your back here in central MN. Oh, and by-the-way, although the city of St Cloud is a bit on the liberal side (too many college profs, IMHO), the surrounding countryside is about 65% GOP. So, I am questioning why Clinton is coming into St Cloud.
Read Michael Barone predictions, they are asking generally 7% more Democrats in polling, that`s just not the case this year, so all the polls are off
