Haha, this kind of backs up the Rasmussen poll from earlier this week which had Obama only up by 5.
His approval numbers are dropping like a rock.
Headline should be changed to reflect that Romney’s number is 44%, not 43%. Thank you.
What’s the Democrat oversample they had to do to get this result? 20?
Most important number: Obama at 47%.
An incumbent whose numbers are below 50% is in deep trouble.
MN turning purple?
O’s numbers must be falling on hard times if he can’t crack 50% in a traditionally Blue State.
Romney may want make a push here.... if only to force Obama to spend time and money to keep MN in his column.
Dick Morris is starting to look like a polling maven.

Looks like the Liberals are getty loony with the thought of Mitt Romney getting so close to winning November 6th. Here's what former Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, tweeted Saturday afternoon at 4:24 PM:

Hope it continues to narrow. Would love to see MN turn bright republic red! :)
This is fantastic news
Good Lord! Obama at 47% in Minnesota!! If this is true, Romney may sweep the entire upper midwest!
My staunch Dem, Minnesota lawyer step-daughter is not fond of Obama. Ditto for her husband who would vote for a Republican but doesn’t like Romney. My all-pubbies-are-evil step-daughter will vote for Obama but reluctantly. Which means there’s a lot of disillusioned Dems in Minny who might stay home on Nov. 6.
1) Minnesota voting Republican is every bit as fool's gold as Pennsylvania, and at least Pennsylvania elected Republicans across the board in 2010 and now has their Senate candidate in striking distance. In Minnesota, while the Republicans did take over the House and Senate, the Demorcats won the governorship (albeit from a GOP candidate who ran one of the worst campaigns in memory), and it's been predicted that at least one of the chambers will go back to the DFL and our DFL Senator is cruising to re-election.
2) On the other hand, historically the Red Star poll is about 5 - 7 off the actual results, and as has been mentioned, the fact that Obama is under 50% bodes well. Minnesota also has 2 constitutional amendments that seem to be in position to pass - marriage amendment and voter i.d. amendment - which obviously makes it favorable for a split vote as well.
Bottom line: would not count on it going for Romney, but for a state that hasn't gone for a Republican since Nixon, this is as good a year as any.
Whoa! MN has not gone GOP since 1972! Obama is in huge trouble when deep blue MN is in play!
The mental picture I have of the residents of Minnesota is hardy, self-reliant, big on personal responsibility, willing to lend a hand to a neighbor, outdoor enthusiasts and hunters, believers in the Divine.
Sam Campbell nature books. Guess there are not so many of those folks now.
I have posted two brief comments on the StarTribulation web site, and the censors have shot them down. Both are jabs at the Sec. of State, Mark Ritchie, (D-Acorn). My point is that Franken and Dayton both won by just enough votes.
Well over on Daily Kos, the staunch leftists are insisting Romney is gonna win Ohio, North Carolina and Ohio, and also that the media was too biased towards Romney in the 3 debates and that clearly Obama won the 2nd and 3rd one. Sounds absurd and inane, I know, but that is what they are saying : http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/28/1151644/-AP-Analysis-Obama-is-poised-to-win-the-election
