News coverage on the race for MN governor has become less and less as we get closer to the election day. Most of the coverage has consisted of reports on advertisements or poll results. Today's article reported on a new poll done by SurveyUSA. The results of the survey were very similar and consistent with past surveys. The results show that Dayton is in the lead with the support of 42 percent of likely voters. Emmer isn't far behind with 37 percent.
This article once again falls under horse race coverage, which seems to be the focus as the race raps up. Since the article is just a report on the survey results, it is fairly short with only five paragraphs. The article shows the percentages for each of the three candidates and doesn't appear to favor any one over the other.
