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.

Poll Ping.

Could very well be that the Midwest destroys the regime. (fly-over country) We already know that the Southerners don’t buy into Bozo.

one thing you can say about Romney, he is very smart.

almost thinks he is playing rope-a-dope with barry. hang around ohio for awhile then run off to a blue state. hang around florida, then go to pennsylvania.

i think the internals are showing Romney alot better off than what is being reported from the major polls & the msm.

they are in it for viewers. Romney is in it for voters.

I think that on the 6th, the pollsters will show Romney with a big edge and a resounding win.

afterall, the pollsters have to save face on the last day, like they usually do.

Blessings, Bobo

Obama won Minnesota by 10 points in 2008. This was less than Nevada (12), Pennsylvania (10.3), and Wisconsin (14) — not to mention well below Michigan and Oregon. The differential was roughly the same as New Hampshire.

Given the less unfavorable demographics in Minnesota, it is not surprising that it is in play. I have actually been surprised that we haven’t heard more about it so far.

So speculation about Obama going to Wisconsin tomorrow was right - Obama fears losing Minnesota but doesn't want to go there because of the message that would send - so he's going to an area that gets him exposure in Minnesota without the stigma of crossing the border. GO R&R GO!

[Joseph Harrolds]

If...and that's a big if...this poll reflects the actual results in 3 days, then the election is in the bag for Romney.

[jjsheridan5]

In addition to the above, the differential of 10 points was roughly the same as Iowa (9.5).

In 1980, the mainstream media portrayed the election as a "horse race" right up to the very end. Below is an image of the Newsweak cover that came out just a few days before the election.

Same as now, back then you had a weak and ineffective incumbent who was a darling of the liberal establishment and with whom the mainstream media was heavily invested in.

So the media did all that they could that year to perpetuate the "dead heat" meme so that they could provide hope for the supporters of the incumbent and demoralize the supporters of the challenger (Reagan).

Fortunately it didn't work and it shouldn't work this time around either.

I never did buy the "Reagan surge" the last weekend of the campaign. I felt that Reagan was headed for a blowout victory all along and that the media - through their bogus polls - were artificially keeping the race close all the way to the end.

Romney statistically tied with 0bama in MINNESOTA?! I’ll take it!

[Husker24]

We need at least a two point lead in every state to combat voter fraud.

There is commonly a point in a campaign, mid-afternoon on the Saturday before the election, when the candidates themselves and their inner circle come to know and realize that it's within their grasp. That moment seems to have arrived this afternoon in the Romney campaign - first Carl Cameron notes, Romney was feeling quite giddy and joking around with his staffers on the campaign plane. Then, when introducing Mitt before the 2nd rally today in Colorado, Ann Romney really appeared to tear up and IMO was the time she realized, God wiling, she really was introducing the next POTUS. The final Colorado rally of the day is just about to begin with coverage on C-SPAN. Vote for love of country and GO R&R GO!

I’m among the LAST of people that will run crying for Federal laws, but damn...... I wish they would just ban polling.

[Bigjimslade]

13% lead with indies ? Praying that it’s real after seeing other polls this weekend!!

[bjc]

Looks good but we need the internals and the turnout model before jumping up and down.

[GlockThe Vote]

Yeah. I’m not popping the corks until o thug is gone.

.. Something is not passing the smell test.
