Why would voters support Pawlenty, but not his tax policy?
A Minnesota Public Radio poll shows broad support for DFL proposals to raise taxes on high-income Minnesotans to pay for property tax relief or education spending. Gov. Tim Pawlenty opposes those ideas, but the same poll also indicates the majority of Minnesotans give the governor high approval marks.11:00 a.m.

Mike Mulcahy: MPR political editor.
Larry Jacobs: Director of the Center for the Study of Politics at the University of Minnesota's Humprey Institute.
