Democrats polling ahead of McCain in MN, Coleman leads Senate race

Rasmussen Reports says Democratic Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are both polling ahead of Republican John McCain in head to head match-ups in Minnesota. The poll also considers Pawlenty as a potential running mate:

If Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is selected as John McCain's running mate, 30% of Minnesota voters would be more likely to vote for the GOP ticket. Thirty-five percent (35%) would be less likely to do so and 32% say it would have no impact. Among Republicans, 60% would be more likely to support the ticket. That enthusiasm is shared by 23% of unaffiliated voters and 13% of Democrats.

In a different poll, GOP Sen. Norm Coleman has a seven point lead over Democrat Al Franken.
