Always on the pulse of Minnesota's electorate...

The Minnesota DFL shot itself in the foot, again.

Just a few tidbits:

1. Do you approve or disapprove of the job being done by the Minnesota Legislature?

• 29 % approve
• 58% disapprove
• 13% not sure

2. Last month the Minnesota Legislature passed a transportation funding bill that will raise the state gas tax, raise license registration fees and allow counties in the metro area to raise the sales tax in order to pay for highway and transit project. Do you support or oppose that legislation?

• 35% support
• 63% oppose
• 2% not sure.

(oh, and I love this one:)
3. Would you be more likely to vote for a legislator who voted for the transportation tax increases? Less Likely? Or would it not make a difference?

• 19% more likely
• 50% less likely
• 28% no difference
• 3% not sure

4. Governor Pawlenty's proposed plan to balance the State's 935 million dollar budget deficit without raising taxes calls for a mix of spending cuts, using budget reserves, closing a corporate tax loophole, and slightly reducing the state sales tax. Do you support or oppose this plan?

• 58% support
• 29% oppose
• 3% not sure

Leave it to the MN DFL to overplay its hand, every time.

November's gonna be fun, kids.
