DFL gubernatorial nominee Mark Dayton leads Republican Tom Emmer by 9 percentage points in the first statewide survey completed and released after the Tuesday’s primaries concluded.
Dayton picks up 45 percent in Rasmussen Reports’ survey of likely voters, with Emmer at 36 percent and Independence candidate Tom Horner at 10 percent. A further 10 percent are undecided (note: Numbers don’t equal 100 percent because of rounding).
The survey shows an improvement from a month ago for Dayton, who led Emmer by 4 points in a July Rasmussen survey. Rasmussen now rates the race “Leans Democratic,” a change from its earlier “Toss up” rating.
