Is Minnesota a battleground again?
Minnesota might be in play again in the 2012 race for the White House, New York Times election blog FiveThirtyEight reports.
Mitt Romney has slashed President Obama's lead from about 14 points to just 6, a SurveyUSA and KSTP poll shows.
That means Minnesota is more of a battleground state, FiveThirtyEight says. It lists Minnesota 11th on its battleground list. The Obama and Romney campaigns must now make tough decisions about how much to invest in Minnesota.
