Obama opens up lead in Time/CNN poll

Posted at 4:51 PM on October 1, 2008 by Tom Scheck

A new Time/CNN poll of battleground states says Democrat Barack Obama has opened up a lead over Republican John McCain in Minnesota:

Obama's also making gains over McCain in Minnesota, the state in which the Republican convention was held a month ago. Fifty-four percent of those questioned are backing Obama, with 43 percent supporting McCain, R-Arizona. That 11-point lead is much larger than the 2-point advantage Obama had in the last CNN poll taken in Minnesota a month ago.
