Popular Minnesota voter ID amendment on path to passage

The Voter ID amendment is very popular in Minnesota.  According to our new poll, 62 percent of Minnesotans support the idea of requiring photo ID’s to vote on Election Day, while 31 percent oppose. Just 7 percent are undecided. A huge majority of Republicans, 87 percent, favor the amendment along with 65 percent of independent voters. Democrats oppose the measure by a 53 percent to 39 percent margin. 

The only surprise in this survey is that the Democrats have finally talked themselves out of support for voter ID.  In most surveys, support for voter ID is significant even among Democrats with only hard core liberals opposing it.
