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.
