Unfortunately, I couldn't find the crosstabs on this poll. Maybe someone else can. But given how Minnesota votes, maybe this is not out of the question.
The traditional marriage amendment seems to be fading somewhat although this type of amendment votes always underperforms in polling. But the gay rights groups, the business community and just about everyone else has been spending money like crazy to stop this amendment from passing.
On the positive side, the Voter ID amendment seems to be passing well enough. I was out earlier today dropping lit for the Yes vote.
Comments or opinions - anyone?

This is an old poll, conducted on weekend (Fri-Sun) at the height of concerns about Sandy.
crosstabs show R 30% D 37% I 28%
D+7 sample.
Big skew to Democrats. In my opinion, this poll was in line with other polls prior to the big push, giving Obama a lead of 4 or 5 points after you take out the skew. This skew would mean that, at the time, the constitutional amendment to change the meaning of marriage was really behind by several points, not a toss-up.
The voter ID should pass comfortably, thank you for your work on the campaign.
At the annual deer camp this weekend there were 12 adults. 9 were voting R/R, 1 knucklehead was voting for Zero, 1 is a libertarian that will throw away his vote and 1 just can't be bothered.
All except for the 1 that can't be bothered stated they would vote for voter ID (even the zero voter.
We didn't get into the marriage amendment since anything related to homosexuals is just a generally avoided topic.
Poll ping. More trying to papers.
The amendment it tied, so we are to believe that a good chunk of folks that are voting against gay marriage are voting for the clown that supports it? Is Minn the lone state that voted for Mondale too? Something seems off kilter.
