The gender chasm is most immediately evident in candidate choices. Nearly 60 percent of likely women voters prefer Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken, while only 28 percent would choose Republican challenger Mike McFadden. For men, 45 percent want McFadden, compared with 37 percent who support Franken. Similarly, DFL Gov. Mark Dayton has opened up a nearly 30 percentage-point gap among women over Republican challenger Jeff Johnson. Men prefer Johnson to Dayton by 43 to 34 percent, but his advantage with men is a fraction of Dayton’s lead among women.--Rachel Stassen-Berger, Star Tribune on Mason-Dixon Poll, conducted Sept 8~10th, with 800 interviews. +-3.5% margin of error. startribune/politics/statelocal/275539421.html
