Results of a new St. Cloud State University survey show DFL Mark Dayton with a 10 percentage point lead in the race for governor.
Dayton had the support of 40 percent of likely voters, followed by Republican Tom Emmer at 30 percent and Independence Party candidate Tom Horner at 19 percent. Five percent were undecided.
The statewide survey interviewed 628 Minnesotans between October 10 to October 21. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
